I built a homebrew 75 meter Double Extended Zepp Antenna, And I needed a 4:1 Balun So I decided to Homebrew the Balun also. Here is how I did it!

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.

A program to decode morse code (CW) via sound card to text. It can work as narrow-band sound DSP-filter also. No additional hardware is required, you need only receiver and computer with a sound card. It easily integrates with AALog logger. CwGet is a powerful Morse code decoding software for ham radio enthusiasts, featuring a customizable interface with three main windows: spectrum display, oscillogram, and received symbols. It includes auto frequency control, adjustable filters, burst noise rejection, and supports multiple decoding channels. Users can control transceiver frequency via Omni-Rig and record or replay received signals. CwGet also integrates seamlessly with logging software and other applications, allowing data transfer and interaction through DXSOFTEX.DLL. Additional features include manual and automatic threshold adjustments, zoom functionality, and support for various character sets, making it an essential tool for efficient Morse code communication.

KQ6RH HF quick vertical antenna with plan for several bands from 10 to 75 meters

Vertical antenna for 40 meters band

The Super Loop Antenna page, designed by Jim W4FTU, provides detailed information on the RadioWorks \'Superloop III\' antenna as an alternative for operators with limited space. The page discusses the physical variations of the antenna, including dimensions and materials used, as well as its electrical characteristics such as the 30\' ladder line. The content is useful for amateur radio operators looking for antenna options for the 80 and 40 meter bands, especially those with small lots or zoning restrictions. The page is well-organized and informative, making it a valuable resource for antenna enthusiasts.

Portable wire antenna for 40 and 80 meter made with a RF Chocke. Can be adapted to work on 160 meters by adding additional 6.9 meters wire at its end.

Copper Cactus multiband J-Pole antenna

Author evaluated a custom-built passive AM loop antenna, achieving notable DX reception including KLBJ Austin (230 miles) and WWL New Orleans (700 miles). The antenna operates solely on resonant inductive coupling, enhancing weak signal reception without external amplification. This project illustrates how fundamental RF design—calculating inductance, capacitance, and Q factor—can significantly boost performance of consumer-grade radios. Detailed construction techniques, theoretical background, and optimization strategies for effective loop antenna design are presented for amateur and experimental use.

An effective 10-20m DX antenna for deed restricted lots. The article by K7ZB introduces a simple 10-20m DX antenna suitable for deed-restricted lots. The antenna, a 15' vertical design, facilitated contacts with over 200 countries worldwide. Its design employs a telescopic aluminum tube and radial wires for multi-band operation, requiring an external antenna tuner for optimal performance. The mounting scheme and construction details ensure effectiveness and ease of use.
