A CW beacon keyer for 222 MHz by VA3NFA

It is possible to detune the tower so that, at least on one band, the tower can be made to effectively disappear. That is, become non-resonant on the band of interest. This allows the vertically-polarized low-bands antenna to meet its potential.

The VU2BBB repeater, located in Matheran, Maharashtra, commenced operations in the late 1980s, a significant undertaking by the Bombay Repeater Society. This repeater facilitates VHF and UHF communications for local amateur radio operators, providing extended range and improved signal reliability across challenging terrain. Its establishment marked a key development in regional amateur radio infrastructure, offering a crucial node for local nets and general QSO traffic. The repeater's operational parameters include specific input and output frequencies within the 2-meter band, typically utilizing a standard offset. CTCSS tones are often employed to mitigate interference and ensure selective access for authorized users, a common practice for repeaters in densely populated areas. Regular maintenance and upgrades ensure _VU2BBB_ remains a reliable asset for the amateur community, supporting emergency communications and daily amateur radio activities. The _Bombay Repeater Society_ continues to oversee its operation, reflecting a sustained commitment to local ham radio services.

This DIY vertical multi-band Windom antenna offers a practical and effective solution for amateur radio enthusiasts seeking a versatile and compact antenna for HF communications. Its simplicity of construction, multi-band capability, and favorable performance make it a valuable addition to any radio shack. The article provides detailed instructions on constructing the antenna and balun, along with diagrams and component specifications. Field tests demonstrated successful contacts with stations across Europe and North America on 14, 18, and 28 MHz. The antenna exhibited comparable performance to a W3DZZ dipole and outperformed a Cobweb antenna on 18 MHz. Low noise levels were observed, effectively suppressing background noise.
