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.

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.

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.
