Illustrates the specific wiring and configuration steps required to interface an SGC-230 Smartuner with an Icom IC-706 HF/VHF/UHF transceiver. The document details the necessary connections for power, control, and RF signal paths between the two devices, ensuring proper impedance matching and automatic antenna tuning functionality. It specifies the pin assignments for the IC-706's ACC socket and the SGC-230's control port, crucial for successful integration. Outlines the operational considerations for the combined system, including initial setup procedures and potential troubleshooting tips for common connectivity issues. The resource presents a clear, diagrammatic representation of the interconnections, which aids in visual comprehension of the required cable fabrication or modification. Covers the specific settings within the IC-706 menu that need adjustment to enable external tuner control, such as the 'TUNER' function and other relevant parameters. This ensures the transceiver correctly communicates with the SGC-230 for efficient antenna tuning across various amateur bands. -

The Crossed Field Antenna (CFA) is one of the applications of Correction of Maxwell's Equations which was used over 150 years ago which was proved these days that the Magnetic Field Source is only the Displacement Current not the Conduction Current . These Corrections was made by an Egyptian Doctor Engineer Fathi Kabbary , who reached the New Correct Theory which shows that the height and efficiency of the antenna doesn't depend on the wavelength -

Demonstrates the design and construction of a 9-element Yagi antenna for the **70 cm band** (432 MHz), based on the DK7ZB concept. The resource details EZNEC+ calculations for a single antenna, providing gain, sidelobe suppression, and front-to-back ratio figures. It also presents a comprehensive analysis of stacking two such antennas, including optimal stacking distance (1000 mm) and the resulting performance enhancements for the stacked array, such as an increased gain of 17.03 dBi. The article includes detailed drawings, wire file dimensions in millimeters, and azimuth/elevation plots for both single and stacked configurations. Practical construction steps are documented with original photographs, illustrating element mounting, the **28 Ohm matching system** using two quarter-wave 75 Ohm transmission lines, and the critical N-connector wiring. It also covers the iterative process of fine-tuning the driven element length to achieve a return loss of 20 dB, validating the EZNEC+ simulation results with actual measurements. -

An interesting article with many technical details on a phased delta loop array for 80 meters band includes pictures of antenna relays -
This low power transmitter is developed for ARDF exercising purposes but of course can be used as super QRP transmitter either. With 1 or 2 meter wire as antenna and a ARDF receiver with ferrite-rod antenna the range is about 100m but with better antennas and a 'real' receiver the range is probably much larger. -
