In this article the author describes his personal experience on some antennas for 50 MHz he tested on the field, the six meter Dipole, Vertical, Moxon, a 3 element Yagi and an Omniangle antenna.

A 4 element Yagi Antenna for six meters band

This article details a ham radio operator’s experience setting up HF antennas in an antenna-restricted community. Initially using an AEA Isoloop magnetic loop for QRP PSK, the author later built an attic antenna system, including dipoles for multiple HF bands and a slinky dipole for 40 meters. The setup allowed for operation on six bands with acceptable VSWR. Despite space constraints and some compromises, performance was effective. The article highlights practical strategies, emphasizing experimentation and antenna modeling for optimizing performance in limited-space environments. A valuable guide for ham radio operators facing similar restrictions.

Explore the design and testing of a cage dipole antenna for 6 meters. Through innovative construction, witness a remarkable 77% increase in bandwidth and improved impedance characteristics.

This is a 50 MHz WebSDR receiver, located in Ashford, CT, USA FN31VU using a deltaloop turnstile horizontally polarized omnidirectional antenna.

A project for a six meters Yagi beam antenna, built mainly for portable operations. This is a 4 element Yagi beam with a 4 meters boom.
