Freeware antenna software that lets you see what the polar diagram of your rotatable beam actually looks like where it is operating. With PolarPlot you can measure the polar diagram of the antenna and check for abnormalities - compare plots taken before and after changes to the design or location - check the -3dB beamwidth - look at the front to back ratio - see the size and position of the sidelobes.

What is NVIS Near Vertical Incident Skywave. This article on NVIS (Near Vertical Incidence Skywave) explores its role in short-range HF communication, covering 0-200 miles. NVIS utilizes antennas with high radiation angles and frequencies below the ionospheric critical frequency to achieve reliable local contact. He details optimal antennas, like low dipoles, and practical tips for maximizing NVIS performance, emphasizing its advantages such as reduced noise and independent operation without repeaters. However, challenges include frequency sensitivity and the need for appropriate antenna setups at both ends for effective communication.

The W3DZZ trap dipole is a versatile and economical antenna option for amateur radio operators looking to work multiple bands without the need for extensive equipment. This antenna design utilizes traps to allow operation on various HF bands, making it suitable for both casual operators and serious DXers. Its construction is straightforward, making it accessible for beginners while still providing excellent performance for seasoned hams. Constructed with readily available materials, the W3DZZ trap dipole can be built to fit specific band requirements, allowing operators to optimize their setup for the frequencies they intend to use. The design is particularly favored for its ability to maintain a low profile while delivering effective radiation patterns. Whether you're contesting or chasing DX, this antenna can enhance your station's capabilities without breaking the bank.

W5ALT Indoor Vertical Antenna is a base loaded vertical antenna that can be tuned on almost all HF bands by adjusting a big coil. Operating a ham radio station from an apartment in Maracaibo, Venezuela, the author demonstrates effective communication with over 100 countries using a custom-built indoor vertical antenna. Addressing common misconceptions, the design uses a balanced approach with radials and a base-loaded vertical element made from affordable materials. The antenna fits discreetly indoors, covers 6 to 40 meter bands, and achieves acceptable SWR with an MFJ tuner. Despite limited space and typical apartment challenges, the setup enables reliable DX contacts, confirmed by numerous QSL cards, proving indoor antennas can perform well in constrained environments.

The Joystick antenna was used many years ago as an all band vertical HF antenna under restricted space situations that would cover from 80 meters thru 10 meters with a tuner and was a great commercial success Some hams even had success with it on 160 meters.
