This note describes a relatively small, but efficient, loop antenna initially created for portable operation. With suitable modifications, it can be adapted for fixed station use. In this age of CC&Rs, an antenna similar to this may very well be the answer to your problems. Have a look, be inspired, get out the torch / soldering iron and create your own version!

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.

A 40-meter antenna that provides good local and regional coverage during the day and good DX capability at night

This note looks at the antenna and antenna model for the 40 meter Moxon Yagi designed by Dave Leeson, W6NL. The performance of the antenna, through the model, will be explored in several typical settings.

This is a 6 band receive only filter designed to protect your receiver front end and provide 45dB reject at the stop bands. This is a 6-band receive only filter designed to protect your receiver front end and provide 45dB reject at the stop bands. Stop band reject may be limited by the relay isolation. Worse case isolation is at 28 MHz or 35 dB or better. Relay K3/K8 protects the filter during transmit via the PTT line. A 25-50ms delay must be used between transmit and PTT. Do not rely on your radio to provide adequate delay with out using the PTT. You logging software must be set to allow a delay between PTT and time of 1st transmit. This filter will not work with VOX or QSK keying as you will damage the filter.
