Whether we are tuning up homebrew equipment, checking antenna VSWR, adjusting a linear amplifier, or just monitoring output power during a contest, almost all aspects of ham operation can use a power meter. Paul Wade W1GHZ -
Demonstrates the construction and measurement of a single-turn HF receiving loop antenna, built from common materials like electrical conduit and lamp cord. The resource details the physical dimensions, including a 4-meter circumference, and calculates the theoretical inductance at approximately _6.4 uH_. It outlines a method for determining resonant frequencies across the 4-17 MHz range using a _C Jig_ and a _VR-500 receiver_, coupling the loop with a ferrite ring. The article also discusses the impact of receiver coupling on the loop's Q factor, noting a degradation in sharpness due to the transformer's reflected impedance. Analyzes the observed resonant frequency patterns, highlighting an unexpected rise in the loop's effective inductance at higher frequencies, particularly above 13 MHz. While some increase is attributed to distributed capacitance, the rate of rise suggests further investigation. The experimental setup provides practical insights into the challenges of maintaining high Q in simple receiving loops and offers a comparative reference for other homebrew antenna projects, such as those by _VK2TPM_. -

The resource presents a detailed schematic for constructing a dual-band vertical antenna, specifically designed for operation on the 2-meter and 70-centimeter amateur radio bands. It illustrates the physical layout, critical dimensions, and component placement necessary for successful replication. Key elements such as the radiating elements, phasing sections, and feed point are clearly depicted, providing a visual guide for radio amateurs undertaking a homebrew antenna project. The diagram specifies the lengths for the VHF and UHF sections, indicating how these elements are integrated to achieve dual-band functionality from a single coaxial feedline. It also implies the use of common materials readily available to most experimenters, focusing on simplicity and effectiveness in its design. The visual format of a GIF image ensures direct access to the construction details without requiring extensive textual interpretation. This schematic serves as a practical reference for hams interested in building a compact, efficient vertical antenna for local and regional FM communications, offering a proven design for immediate implementation. -
