A 10-20 meters coverage delta loop antenna. After relocating, DL2HCB designed a multiband loop antenna to cover 10-20m with an open-wire feed for impedance matching and compact installation. Inspired by the mini-X-Q design, a modified 10m delta-loop was built, enhanced with a 1/4 wave shorted stub for 28 MHz using 450-ohm ladder line. The antenna delivers east-west broadside radiation and performs as a closed loop on other bands. Operational tests yielded strong European signals and successful DX contacts, including a 20m QRP QSO with FY/DJ0PJ.

This resource provides comprehensive instructions for constructing a 2 element quad antenna specifically designed for the 10, 12, and 15 meter bands. The antenna features a diamond configuration, which offers improved gain compared to a square configuration. The author shares insights into the materials used, including a square-aluminum boom and bamboo poles, along with construction techniques that ensure durability and optimal performance. This project is ideal for amateur radio enthusiasts looking to create their own antennas at home. In addition to construction details, the author discusses the antenna's performance, noting its effectiveness even at a height of 8 meters. The quad antenna reportedly performs comparably to a 3 element yagi, with excellent SWR readings and strong signal reports from European stations. This project is suitable for beginners and offers a cost-effective solution for those interested in enhancing their amateur radio setup with a homemade antenna.

The page provides a project for an indoor wire antenna for the 7 MHz band, based on a design by F6CYV. It aims to help amateur radio operators lacking space to set up an antenna for 40 meters. The author shares their experience using the antenna inside an apartment, noting good reception of European signals and contacts with over 150 countries. The project details the materials and dimensions needed for the antenna, along with tips for optimal performance.

This antenna makes 80 and 160 enjoyable. Less than $50 to hear Europeans all summer on the LF bands seems like a good deal if you have the space!

For radio amateurs engaged in propagation studies and DXing on the 6-meter band, understanding the distribution of active beacons is crucial for assessing band openings and signal paths. This resource presents a static map compiled by _Carl-Axel Lindberg, SM6NZV_, illustrating the geographical placement of European beacons operating on the 50 MHz band, which is vital for monitoring sporadic-E, F2-layer, and other propagation modes. The map, last updated in April 2002, serves as a historical reference for beacon locations, allowing operators to correlate observed signal reports with known beacon positions. While not real-time, it provides foundational data for analyzing past propagation events and understanding typical beacon coverage areas across the European continent. Operators can use this information to identify potential receive stations or transmit points for future _DX contacts_ on the _Magic Band_.

MMMonVHF maintains the data for 6m, 2m, 70cm and 23cm bands in collaboration to LA0BY. This site allow display of a beacon map and latest beacon spots.

The 2.1 kHz wide European LF allocation between 135.7 and 137.8 kHz is detailed in this observed band plan, offering guidance for activity within this narrow segment. It specifically addresses the challenge of locating weak signals, such as those from Slow-CW stations, which can have bandwidths of only a few Hertz. The resource emphasizes the utility of precise frequency knowledge when operating with narrow DSP filters, like a 30 Hz filter for CW, to differentiate multiple stations within a very small band segment. The plan, though not officially recognized, provides practical orientation for operators, particularly those new to the _LF band_. It references a similar plan published by the _RSGB_ in the January 2000 issue of _RADCOM_, suggesting a community-driven approach to band organization. The content highlights the importance of spectral awareness, noting that multiple stations can occupy minimal bandwidth, a concept illustrated by spectrographic analysis.

This article discusses the Beverage antenna, a reception antenna for low bands, originally published in the Megahertz magazine between November 1990 and April 1991. It explains the challenges faced in receiving signals on low bands due to interference and how the Beverage antenna's directional radiation pattern can help improve reception of distant stations. The article highlights the importance of choosing antennas with low efficiency but sharp radiation lobes for better DX signal reception. It also compares the reception characteristics of signals from European stations versus DX stations, emphasizing the benefits of antennas favoring low arrival angles for DX signals on low bands.
