The 144-430 portable j-pole antenna is designed for amateur radio operators seeking a lightweight and efficient solution for VHF and UHF communications. This antenna is particularly useful for portable operations, allowing hams to set up quickly in various locations while maintaining excellent performance. Constructed from readily available materials, it can be easily homebrewed, making it an ideal project for both beginners and experienced operators alike. The j-pole design offers a simple yet effective configuration that provides a good match across the 144 MHz and 430 MHz bands. Its vertical polarization and omnidirectional radiation pattern make it suitable for local communications and simplex operations. This antenna can be deployed in various environments, whether in the field or at home, and is well-suited for mobile applications. With proper construction techniques, operators can achieve optimal performance, enhancing their ability to make contacts during contests or casual QSOs. -

Over 30 distinct shortwave (SW) receiver models are reviewed, offering insights into their performance, features, and user experiences. These evaluations, contributed by readers of the Usenet newsgroup **Rec.radio.shortwave**, cover a wide array of portable and tabletop radios, including popular units like the Grundig YB-400, Sony ICF-SW77, and various Realistic DX series models. Each review details aspects such as frequency range, tuning steps, SSB functionality, antenna performance, and construction quality, often comparing them to other receivers or ham transceivers like the Icom 725. For instance, the Grundig YB-400 review highlights its 144-30000 kHz AM/SSB coverage, direct keypad entry, and 40 station memories, noting its useful narrow bandwidth and tone switch for adjacent signal separation. It also discusses the **SSB mode** stability and the limitations of its 1 kHz frequency resolution for precise zero-beating. The review further details antenna performance, including the effectiveness of the built-in whip, the provided 7m reel antenna, and the potential for overload with larger outdoor antennas. Other reviews delve into specific issues, such as the Sony ICF-SW77's frequency display inaccuracies and timer malfunctions, or the Realistic DX-342's compact size and surprisingly good MW DXing capabilities despite its analog tuning. The collection provides practical, user-generated feedback on sensitivity, selectivity, audio quality, and ergonomic features, helping shortwave listeners understand the real-world performance and quirks of these receivers. -

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 -
