The G3TPW Cobwebb antenna covers five bands, 14 - 28 mhz, including the WARC bands

KF4SCI picture of a project for a VHF UHF jpole antenna working on 220 and 440 MHz.

A base station antenna you can easily build for 146,220 or 440 MHz, with performance similar to a J-pole but smaller and less obstrusive

Pictures of a 2 meter, 220, 440 copper J-Pole antennas

This strange looking antenna is a combination of Coupled-Resonator principle by K9AY and a quarter stubs to achieve low angle radiation pattern. Designed with 4nec2 NEC based antenna modeler and optimizer for 145/220/440MHz bands

A 144/440 dual band open stub J-Pole Antenna project by NT1K

A homemade VHF/UHF vertical antenna made essentially with RG58 coax cable, with a 9 turns choke balun to prevent the shield acting as a RF Radiator.

A 4 elements handitenna for 70 cm band. This is my version of the K5OE Handitenna. This one is a four Element instead of three, as I had less of a crunch on space than he did. The 1st three elements (Reflector, Driven Element, and Director 1) are the same dimensions as his were.

Single Coax Feed to Multi-Band Copper Cactus Antenna.

Here we have a ground plane antenna mostly used for 144, 222, 440 Mhz. Its one of the simplest antennas to make. New hams can build this with little to no experience in antenna building.

Documents the OC1I and OC6I IOTA DXpeditions to Peru, specifically highlighting operations from SA-098 (Isla La Leona) and SA-076 (Isla Lobos de Afuera). The OC1I team logged over **8000 QSOs** from SA-076, while OC6I made 1400 QSOs from SA-098, despite challenging propagation conditions. The resource details the equipment used, including an _IC-7000_, an IC-706mkIIG, and a TS-440SAT, along with various antennas such as a 160m dipole, FD4, G5RV, and a multi-band vertical for 17m, 20m, 30m, and 40m. The DXpedition dates are specified: OC6I operated from SA-098 between December 28 and December 30, while OC1I was active from SA-076 from January 2 to January 7. Both operations are confirmed as valid for IOTA credit. The page also includes a video link for the OC6I operation and a photo gallery from the DXpedition. Feedback is welcomed, and the webmaster is identified as Bodo Fritsche, DL3OCH.

This is a plan for an optimized element UHF Yagi Antenna for UHF Bands featuring a 9dBd forward gain, a 13 dB front-back ratio, and a bandwith of 10 MHz on the 430-440MHz range.

The Kenwood TS-440S operates across HF bands with a frequency range of 10 MHz to 30 MHz, featuring SSB, CW, and FM modes. It supports various modifications for improved performance, including circuit enhancements and software updates. Users can access detailed diagrams and troubleshooting guides to optimize their setup. The transceiver's architecture allows for easy integration with external devices, enhancing its versatility in the field. Practical applications include participation in DXing and contesting, where the TS-440S's capabilities can be fully utilized. Operators have reported significant improvements in signal clarity and reception after implementing recommended mods. Comparisons with other HF transceivers highlight the TS-440S's reliability and adaptability, making it a preferred choice among seasoned operators. Resources for power supplies, antennas, and additional accessories are also available, ensuring a comprehensive support system for users aiming to maximize their station's potential.

This Instruction Manual covers the TS-440S, with and without AT (Automatic Antenna Tuner) unit. When there are differences in operation. Separate instructions will be given for each model. If disregarded, inconvenience only, no risk of equipment damage or personal injury.
