Over **10 million** antennas and flags have been sold worldwide by Firestik Antenna Company, a veteran-owned manufacturer specializing in both CB and amateur radio communication products. Their offerings include a range of antennas, mounting accessories, and coaxial cables, designed for various mobile and fixed applications. The company provides technical support and maintains a network of dealers for product availability. Firestik products are known for their fiberglass construction, which is evident in their _Firestik_ and _Firefly_ antenna lines. The company also produces unique items like the "342 mile per hour Firestik flag," highlighting their diverse manufacturing capabilities beyond just radio antennas. They emphasize their commitment to quality and customer service, including direct technical assistance. The company is located in Tempe, Arizona, and operates under the registered trademark of _Pal International Corporation_. They actively protect their brand, including variations like Firestick and Firestix, ensuring proper representation of their products in the market.

The QRP choke balun described utilizes a high permeability ferrite rod and RG-174 coax, aiming to present high impedance to common-mode currents across the HF spectrum. The construction involves winding as many turns of RG-174 as possible around the ferrite rod, then encapsulating the assembly with hot glue. This design prioritizes maximizing inductance to suppress unwanted shield currents, particularly in unbalanced antenna configurations. While the balun's effectiveness is subjectively reported as good, a potential design consideration involves the dielectric properties of the hot glue. This material could increase turn-to-turn capacitance, potentially reducing the balun's performance at higher HF frequencies, though this specific aspect has not been formally tested by the author, _AA5TB_. The project serves as an illustrative example of a practical, junk-box construction rather than a rigorously engineered solution. Photographs detail the evolution of the balun, from the initial winding process to its integration within a _B&W dipole center insulator_ and final camouflaged assembly.

VQLog 3.1 - 782 is a shareware logbook program designed for Windows operating systems (95, 98, NT, 2000, ME, XP, Vista, 7, 10, or later), supporting resolutions of 800x600 or higher. It can also operate on macOS and Linux via virtualization software like Virtual PC for MAC, Oracle VirtualBox, or VMware. The software facilitates QSO access by date, callsign, prefix, square, DXCC, and other parameters, offering robust import capabilities for ADIF, Cabrillo, and ASCII files from various contest and logbook programs. Key features include comprehensive award tracking for DXCC, WAZ, WAC, WPX, WAS, IOTA, TPEA, DIE, VUCC, 100EACW, and up to 30 user-defined awards. It generates customizable summaries and graphical statistics for QSO activity, DX contests, Most Wanted Squares (MWS), propagation openings, and prefixes. VQLog supports DX-Spot reception and processing from DX-Cluster and PSK-Reporter with programmable warnings, integrates with callbook services like QRZ.COM and Buckmaster's CD, and offers online lookup. Electronic QSL and log upload support extends to LoTW, eQSL.cc, Clublog, and DXMAPS, with real-time updates for online logs. The program provides extended QSO information for VHF-DXers, including separate TX/RX frequencies, start/end times, propagation modes, and specific entry fields for MS, EME, and Tropo. CAT support for rig control and interfaces with ARSWIN and PstRotator for azimuth/elevation control are also included.

A half-sized Hentenna designed for unique performance in compact spaces. Initially built in 2003 for monitoring a local 146.97 MHz repeater from a basement shop, the antenna proved highly effective, operating at just 200mW. In 2005, it was adapted for use in a challenging river-bottom location, delivering reliable performance on a 2-meter band with 5W. Despite its compact size, the Forktenna demonstrated excellent results compared to a full-sized Hentenna, making it an intriguing option for many hams.

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
