VU2VWN project to homebrew a CW for 40 meters band

This transceiver was conceived as a power-efficient, small, lighweight unit to be carried in the backpack, along with antenna and battery.

This array has been in use since 1989. The SWR from 3.5 to 3.9 is below 1.5:1. The F/R of the array is 20dB average and with some signals even better.

A portable 4 elements quad antenna for 144 MHz, 9 to 10 DBd forward gain, 30 DB front-to-back ratio, and 33 DB front-to-side ratio

This antenna consists of 4 resonate dipoles made from 12 insulated copper electrical wire. The dipoles are resonate on the following bands: 6 meters, 10 meters, 12 meters and 17 meters.

Project plan for a 4 element yagi beam for 50 Mhz

A copper pipe Hentenna for 144 MHz. The Hentenna, a compact, high-gain loop antenna developed in Japan in the 1970s, offers approximately 5.1 dBd gain, comparable to a three-element Yagi. Adapted for 2 meters, it is crafted from copper pipe for simplicity, affordability, and broadband performance. Requiring no feed-point tuning, its construction involves soldering standard copper fittings. Installation demands non-conductive materials to minimize signal disruption. Versatile for vertical or horizontal polarization, it is ideal for FM, repeater, SSB, or CW applications. This design emphasizes practicality and performance for amateur radio enthusiasts

KG4JJH moxon assembly plan for the 50 Mhz in a pdf file

A five element quad antenna for 144 MHz DIY Project. This 2 Meter 5 Element Quad antenna was modeled using EZNEC, with a boom from a UHF TV antenna and CPVC pipe for spreaders. Constructed for 146MHz, it exhibits a gain of 10.7dB and an impedance of 75 ohms. Real-world results surpass the HT antenna, reaching over 20 repeaters up to 75 miles away. The design, costing around $10, employs simple tools for assembly.
