Sizes of wire as compared to their gauge American Wire Gauge by W8HDU

A vertical antenna project for the 7MHz made with some spare parts. Based on a broken 20 foot fishing pole, it is based on a good ground system made with radials and a capacitive hat done to increase the global radiation resistance of the antenna. A custom loading coil is also included in this project to perfectly tune the antenna to the CW portion of the 40 meters band.

Demonstrating the construction of a short dipole antenna tailored for the 60 meter band, this resource provides detailed instructions for radio enthusiasts with limited space. The design incorporates inductive loading using two inductors (L1/L2) made from PVC tubes, allowing for effective operation on 5 MHz. The antenna consists of 12 meters of wire, divided into four sections, with specific dimensions and materials outlined for optimal performance. Results from users indicate that this antenna can significantly enhance DXing capabilities on the 60 meter band. Feedback from operators suggests that while the design is effective, adjustments may be necessary based on individual setups, such as coil diameter and wire gauge. Many users report successful construction and operation, with some experimenting with variations to improve resonance. The practical application of this antenna design has led to successful contacts and improved signal quality, making it a popular choice among 60 meter band operators.

6m/2m/70cm Yagi Antenna Built from Old TV Antenna This turned out to be a great little antenna. It works the 6 meter, 2 meter and 70 centimeter bands. You can use one common feedpoint or two seperate feedpoints depending on how you would like to connect this antenna to your transceiver.

There are a large number of antenna designs for HF. One choice out of many is the fan dipole. The ability to transmit of multiple bands without needing a tuner (and even more with a tuner) is a very desirable factor in choosing a versitle antenna for HF.
