HF Beam Calculator for Amateur Radio and CB Communications

A 2x3-foot laminated world map product is detailed, offering customization for amateur radio operators. Each map features two distinct views: one centered on the operator's specific station location and another precisely centered on its _antipode_. Countries are clearly labeled, complemented by a tabular listing of all countries. The map integrates a standard latitude/longitude grid alongside concentric circles that delineate distance increments radiating outward from the operator's QTH. Personalization includes the operator's name, callsign, and location printed directly on the map. This custom mapping service provides a unique visual aid for DXing and propagation analysis, allowing operators to quickly ascertain beam headings and distances from their station. The dual-view presentation, particularly the antipodal centering, offers a practical reference for understanding long-path propagation and identifying potential DX opportunities. The inclusion of distance circles and personalized station data makes it a tailored tool for daily operating and contest planning, distinct from generic world maps.

This calculator is designed to give the critical information of a particular beam antenna, in this case a three element Yagi, for the frequency chosen.

This version of the broadband hexbeam is based on the work of Hunt G3TXQ, HB9MCZ, and Shoemaker K4KIO. EZNEC model is based on a wider element spacing than the version published in QST by K4KIO

Constructing a compact directional antenna for the 17-meter band, this resource details the build process for a Moxon rectangle, a two-element Yagi variant with folded-back elements. It covers the antenna's evolution from the _VK2ABQ beam_ and provides specific dimensions for a version built using fishing pole whips. The content includes a discussion of the antenna's radiation pattern, feedpoint impedance, and its inherent front-to-back ratio, which is often superior to a standard two-element Yagi. Practical considerations for element spacing and material choices are also addressed, alongside a visual representation of the antenna's physical layout. Performance data presented includes a comparison showing the Moxon rectangle's **2.5 dB gain** over a half-wave dipole and a front-to-back ratio of **20 dB**. The resource also touches upon the antenna's relatively wide bandwidth for a two-element beam and its suitability for portable operations due to its compact footprint. It offers insights into optimizing the design for specific operating conditions and discusses the advantages of its lower take-off angle compared to omnidirectional wire antennas, making it effective for DX contacts on the 17-meter band.
