W5ALT Indoor Vertical Antenna is a base loaded vertical antenna that can be tuned on almost all HF bands by adjusting a big coil. Operating a ham radio station from an apartment in Maracaibo, Venezuela, the author demonstrates effective communication with over 100 countries using a custom-built indoor vertical antenna. Addressing common misconceptions, the design uses a balanced approach with radials and a base-loaded vertical element made from affordable materials. The antenna fits discreetly indoors, covers 6 to 40 meter bands, and achieves acceptable SWR with an MFJ tuner. Despite limited space and typical apartment challenges, the setup enables reliable DX contacts, confirmed by numerous QSL cards, proving indoor antennas can perform well in constrained environments.

A copper pipe Hentenna for 144 MHz. The Hentenna, a compact, high-gain loop antenna developed in Japan in the 1970s, offers approximately 5.1 dBd gain, comparable to a three-element Yagi. Adapted for 2 meters, it is crafted from copper pipe for simplicity, affordability, and broadband performance. Requiring no feed-point tuning, its construction involves soldering standard copper fittings. Installation demands non-conductive materials to minimize signal disruption. Versatile for vertical or horizontal polarization, it is ideal for FM, repeater, SSB, or CW applications. This design emphasizes practicality and performance for amateur radio enthusiasts

Presents the Aceco product line, focusing on their range of frequency counters, RF testers, and specialized bug finders. It details the capabilities of the _FC-1000_ and _FC-2000_ series as user-friendly, affordable frequency counters operating up to 3 GHz. The resource also highlights the _FC-3002_ as a portable RF finder capable of automatically tuning _ICOM CI-V_ or AOR scanners to detected signals, emphasizing its utility in secure monitoring. Furthermore, it describes the _FC-5000_ series as a wideband FM receiver that rapidly locks onto and demodulates FM signals, outputting audio through a built-in speaker, making it suitable for counter-surveillance and radio communication testing. The page provides technical specifications and operational distinctions for each product series. The content is structured to differentiate between the core functions of frequency measurement, signal tracing, and FM signal demodulation across the various models. It clarifies that these devices are not traditional scanners but offer faster signal acquisition for specific applications. The information is presented in both English and German, with a note indicating ongoing translation efforts for the German sections. The resource serves as a product catalog and technical overview for Aceco devices, distributed by WiMo Antennen und Elektronik GmbH, providing essential details for potential buyers interested in RF measurement and surveillance tools.

The 2000 CQ WW Multi-Multi operation by the GM0B contest group from Benbecula, Outer Hebrides, Scotland, is documented, providing insights into a significant **DX contest** effort. This resource outlines the station setup, operational strategies, and team composition for a large-scale, multi-operator, multi-transmitter entry. It details the logistical challenges and technical solutions employed to achieve competitive results from a remote island location, a common scenario for **DXpedition**-style contest operations. The page offers a glimpse into the practical application of contest rules and the coordination required for a successful multi-operator effort. It serves as a historical record of the GM0B team's performance in a major international contest, allowing other contesters to compare operational approaches and understand the scale of such an undertaking. The information can be useful for those planning similar contest expeditions or studying past contest strategies.

The **Solarcon A99** vertical antenna, a half-wave over a quarter-wave variable mutual inductance design, primarily serves the 11-meter CB band but also finds use on 10 and 12 meters for amateur radio operators. Its simple construction, consisting of three fiberglass sections and a 16 AWG radiating element, makes it an accessible option for new operators or those seeking an easy-to-install base station antenna without complex mounting requirements. Despite claims of 9.9 dBi gain being widely considered exaggerated, and a manufacturer rating of 2000 watts power handling often viewed with skepticism (with 300 watts suggested as a practical limit), the A99 maintains popularity due to its low cost and ease of deployment. It typically tunes to a 1.2-1.3 SWR out of the box, requiring minimal adjustment via its two tuning rings. Its high angle of radiation allows for effective local communication even when mounted at low heights, such as 8-10 feet off the ground. However, the A99 is known for significant RF bleed-over issues, particularly when operated with higher power or mounted close to residential electronics. While its internal design is often described as cheap, the antenna exhibits remarkable durability, frequently lasting a decade or more in various weather conditions. Its affordability and straightforward setup continue to make it a go-to choice for many radio enthusiasts.
