Some antenna ideas for 10 meters band

Excellent Quad Antenna projects for 40 20 17 12 10 and 6 meters band in this pdf file project by Pfeiffer Maltese. The Pfeiffer Maltese Quad Antenna System takes on the structural challenges of traditional cubical quad antennas using a linear loading approach to reduce size while preserving performance. Andrew Pfeiffer created the pattern, which resembles a Maltese cross and enhances endurance in tough conditions. The system progresses through numerous configurations, from the 4-spreader Maltese Quad to the 16-spreader Maltese Quadruple-Cross, greatly lowering antenna size while retaining efficiency over several bands, including 12 to 40 metres.

Build your mobile antenna which outperforms Hustler by 10db and ATAS-100 by 18db. From 80 to 10m. The HB9ABX mobile HF antenna, designed for 10 to 80 meters, was developed by Felix Meyer and outperforms commercial antennas like HUSTLER and YAESU ATAS-100/120 in field tests. Made from fiberglass rods and enamelled copper wire, it includes a loading coil with adjustable taps for tuning across bands. Installation requires solid grounding, and adjustments are made via whip length and coil settings. An antenna tuner ensures optimal SWR. Users must handle fiberglass with care due to health risks. This design proved highly effective in South America and Europe.

Magnetic loop receive antennas manufacturer. W6LVP loops cover 2200 through 10 meters (135 kHz through 30 MHz) with no tuning or adjustment.

This antenna is designed for 40, 80 and 160 meters to complement a tri-band beam normally taken on DX peditions for 10, 15 and 20 meters, so six bands can be worked with only two antennas.

This document details the construction of a multi-band end-fed antenna, suitable for situations with limited space for larger antennas. The design utilizes a 1:49 to 1:60 impedance transformer to match a half-wave wire antenna fed at one end. Compared to a traditional dipole, this antenna resembles a highly unbalanced Windom antenna with one very long leg and a virtual short leg. The design eliminates the need for radials but relies on the coax cable shield for grounding. The document recommends using at least 10 meters of coax and installing a common mode filter at the entry point to the shack for improved performance.

This article details a ham radio operator’s experience setting up HF antennas in an antenna-restricted community. Initially using an AEA Isoloop magnetic loop for QRP PSK, the author later built an attic antenna system, including dipoles for multiple HF bands and a slinky dipole for 40 meters. The setup allowed for operation on six bands with acceptable VSWR. Despite space constraints and some compromises, performance was effective. The article highlights practical strategies, emphasizing experimentation and antenna modeling for optimizing performance in limited-space environments. A valuable guide for ham radio operators facing similar restrictions.

The Beverage on Ground (BOG) antenna offers ham radio operators a compact alternative to traditional Beverage antennas, requiring less space and fewer support structures. This implementation, optimized for 1.8-7 MHz bands, describes ideal parameters: lengths of 60-90 meters, height of 2-10 cm above ground, and specific load resistances based on configuration. The article details experimental methods for determining optimal load resistance and presents matching systems to convert BOG impedance to 50 ohms. While less effective than classic 200-300 meter Beverages, the BOG provides directional reception in limited space, though performance varies with ground conditions and weather changes.
