A vertical antenna for the top band, made with a 26m fiberglass spiderpole by DJ0IP

Evolution of a Stealth 19 and 22 element directional antenna array system for 160m to 6m

By Guy, de ON6MU, At VHF, both the 1/4-wavelength monopole and the 5/8-wavelength monopole antennas are widely used.

This article compares two commercial vertical antennas for the 4-meter amateur radio band: the Watson WVB-70 half-wave and the Sirio CX4-71. The Watson measures 2.03m in length, costs around £40, and exhibited adequate performance but required additional waterproofing after rain affected its VSWR readings. The longer Sirio CX4-71 (3.02m) performed noticeably better, delivering signals approximately 2 S-points stronger than the Watson. The Sirio demonstrated high build quality, a stable 1.2-1.4:1 VSWR, and weather resilience, though minor VSWR fluctuations were observed during rain and frost. Both antennas are half-wave designs requiring no ground plane radials.

A homemade modification of a G5RV antenna into a ZS6BKW to be able to work on 40, 20, 17, 12, 10 and 6m

Article by G4AON about a 4 and 2 Element Quad Antennas for the 6m band

This Magnetic Longwire Balun (MLB) makes it possible to efficiently use a coaxial lead-in cable with all forms of longwires, T-forms or other types of wire antennas, without the need for an antenna tuner.

M0CVO Antennas, amateur radio antennas for fixed station or portable operations, HF/6m all are catered for. The antennas produced by us are all manufactured by Nigel Booth, M0CVO

Build a double bazooka antenna. This website offers pictures and diagrams of bazooka antennas for all Bands, from 6m to 160m

Comparing many antennas for 50 MHz band

An antenna system is electrically small if it's enclosing sphere is <&#955;/2&#960;. So a 10m band antenna of under 1.6m long qualifies.

The Homebase-10 is a wire halo antenna for 10m built with DIY store parts, effective despite its small size. Includes a dual-band version for 10m and 6m with gain around 0 to -2dBd, near omnidirectional pattern, and horizontal polarization. Overview based on a 2008 Practical Wireless article.

Build a SPDT coaxial relay that can be used as a main Transmit/Receive relay or an A-B switch to select between two different 6m antennas

This Guide helps you to build the 1:2 BalUn 600 Watts DIY kit step by step. If a delta-loop or quad-loop antenna is powered with a coax cable from the transceiver it is necessary to use a 1:2 BalUn. This 1:2 BalUn uses a symmetrical 1:2 impedance transformer.

An homebrew HF Magnetic loop made with 2m length of 6mm diameter copper pipe formed into a near circle as the low loss inductor, a short length of coax as a capacitor,a short length of mains cable, again as a fixed tuned capacitor, a tunable 365pF air spaced capacitor, and a small Jackson C804 airspaced variable with a small 3-35pF trimmer in parallel

Explores the addition of a reflector to the traditional Hentenna design for 6m band, providing construction insights, performance comparisons, and modeling data

The Acom 1500 HF+6M Linear Amplifier is a high-quality and user-friendly amplifier that provides excellent performance and reliability. G6NHU, who previously owned an Acom 1000, upgraded to the Acom 1500 after nine years and has been using it for about eighteen months. Key features highlighted include the ability to connect three antennas internally, straightforward tuning process, robust construction that can handle high SWR, quiet operation, fast and quiet switching for efficient CW operation, and clean output signal even when driven hard. G6NHU highly recommends the Acom 1500 and states they would not hesitate to purchase another one in the future.
