"Some have called the T2FD a ""squashed rhombic"" antenna. It does bear some design similarities to the non resonant rhombic, but theoretically it is admittedly inferior. However, the T2FD performs well in a modest amount of space."

A free soundcard application supporting PSK31, PSK63, RTTY, CW, and Phone operation. It can decode all PSK QSOs within a 4 KHz segment, maintaining a sorted list of heard callsigns; it can simultaneously decode RTTY via soundcard and an external modem, generates CW directly or via WinKey, and includes a voice keyer. WinWarbler interoperates with the free Commander, DXKeeper, and SpotCollector for transceiver control, logging, and spotting.

Program for amateur radio digital communications via a sound card. Supported modes are RTTY (Baudot code), ASCII (7 or 8 bits), PSK31 (BPSK and QPSK) and AMTOR-FEC (SITOR-B, NAVTEX). SELFEC SITOR decoding is possible also. No additional hardware required, need only a sound card. Optionally you can use simple circuit fo PTT-control. Can cooperate with RZ4AG AAlog logger.

This article describes the construction of a Moxon rectangle antenna for the 70MHz (4-meter) amateur radio band. This compact two-element beam design features folded element ends, reducing its width to approximately 75% of a half-wavelength. The antenna was built using enamelled copper wire stretched over a lightweight fiberglass kite spar frame, with a direct coaxial cable feed connection. Initial testing showed a VSWR of around 1.3 with distinct nulls at 90 degrees when horizontally mounted. The author later tested vertical polarization and suggested that the antenna's compact size might allow for indoor loft installation.
