Dissects the internal components of the popular _Antron 99_ vertical antenna, revealing its unique design elements. The analysis details the construction of the coaxial phasing sections, which contribute to its multi-band performance across 10, 12, 15, and 17 meters. Observations include the use of fiberglass tubing for weather protection and the specific arrangement of conductors within the antenna's structure. The examination highlights the antenna's reliance on a series of coaxial stubs to achieve resonance on multiple HF bands without external tuning. This internal architecture provides insights into how the _Antron 99_ manages impedance matching and radiation patterns for effective DX operation. Further details cover the antenna's base mounting and overall physical dimensions.

CW Decoder provides a robust solution for amateur radio operators aiming to decode Morse code directly on their computer. The software processes incoming audio, presenting the decoded CW as text on the screen, which can be particularly useful during crowded band conditions or for those refining their copying skills. Additionally, it offers the capability to generate a sidetone, allowing operators to monitor the decoded audio in real-time. The application features a **spectrum display** of the audio input, complete with a sliding cursor. This visual aid enables precise selection of a specific audio frequency for decoding, helping to isolate desired signals from QRM. My field experience with similar decoders confirms that a clear visual representation of the signal greatly improves decoding accuracy, especially when dealing with weak signals or multiple stations. Beyond decoding, the program integrates a **keying function**, allowing users to transmit CW directly from their keyboard. This feature supports full CW break-in operation, which is essential for efficient contesting and DXing, providing immediate switching between transmit and receive modes without manual intervention.

The antenna is nothing more than a simple 2.4 metre square loop drawing pinned to the internal brick wall of the spare bedroom. Yep, thats right, the inside wall of the spare bedroom - ideal for flat dwellers, hotel rooms or whinging neighbours, The loop has a simple switched inductance at the top of the square loop and uses a simple coaxial stub to tune the antenna. An additional variable capacitor placed across the feedpoint can be used to fine tune the resonance of the antenna, by Andy G0FTD

Vox Recorder is a specialized Windows utility designed for amateur radio operators, and radio listeners particularly those who use radio scanners. This software allows users to record audio from various sources, but it only activates when an audio signal is detected. This feature is particularly useful for avoiding the capture of silence or background noise, which can be common in radio scanning. By focusing on the audio signals, users can create cleaner recordings that are more relevant to their interests. The utility is user-friendly and tailored for hobbyists who want to document their radio listening experiences without the hassle of editing out silence later. Vox Recorder is an excellent tool for anyone involved in amateur radio, as it streamlines the recording process and enhances the overall experience of monitoring radio frequencies. Whether for personal use or for sharing with fellow enthusiasts, Vox Recorder helps ensure that every important transmission is captured effectively.

Presents a practical design for a **crossed-dipole turnstile antenna** specifically engineered for 2-meter Amateur Radio Direction Finding (ARDF) events. The author, WB6RDV, details a robust, omnidirectional, horizontally-polarized antenna, addressing the international ARDF rules requiring such characteristics at a height of two to three meters above ground. This contrasts with the vertical polarization often used in Southern California, highlighting the design's adherence to specific event requirements. The electrical design employs a classic crossed-dipole with a 75-ohm phasing section, resulting in a slight impedance mismatch and an SWR of approximately 1.3:1 with a 50-ohm feedline. Construction utilizes readily available and inexpensive PVC plumbing components and 1/8-inch bronze welding rod for elements. The guide provides step-by-step instructions for mechanical assembly, including drilling element holes at precise 90-degree spacing and preparing the RG-179 matching section. WB6RDV shares insights from his own build experience, discussing the use of plated brass versus aluminum spacers for element attachment and the effectiveness of crimping as an alternative to soldering. The document also covers final assembly, including the integration of ferrite beads as a choke balun and options for weatherproofing and alternative mounting configurations, emphasizing the adaptability of the design for other VHF bands through scaling.
