Build a space efficient trapped dipole antenna for 40-80-160 meter bands using RG-58 and PVC pipe. The document provides a brief guide on building a compact dipole antenna appropriate for the 40, 80, and 160-meter amateur radio bands. It explains the materials, building processes, and tuning methods required to provide best performance while preserving space. The paper also discusses theoretical elements of dipole antennas, such as impedance matching and feedline selection.

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.

Experimental omni-directional antennas for 6-meters band

The Bruce array is a simple, often-forgotten wire antenna array that is advantageous for 80 and 160 meters, where typical gain antennas are very large. This bi-directional broadside vertical array is only 1\4 lambda high and does not require a ground system. It offers substantially greater SWR bandwidth than the half-square or bobtail curtain. A 4-element Bruce array used by N6LF showed a gain of about 4.6 dB compared to a 1\4 lambda vertical with 8 elevated radials, with a 2:1 SWR bandwidth greater than 400 kHz. The antenna is simple and its dimensions are flexible.
