Antennas for low-power operation resemble those for 100W use. Minor adjustments, like capacitor voltage ratings, may apply, but basic principles persist. Portable antennas, notably Backpack Antennas for weight-conscious setups, hold relevance beyond QRP. While some antennas function acceptably at higher power, efficiency issues arise at QRP levels. Testing antennas at 100W exposes weaknesses, particularly in tuners, crucial for efficient QRP operation.

This tutorial provides detailed instructions for constructing a DIY magnetic loop antenna, ideal for amateur radio operators seeking efficient short wave communication. The design features a remote tuning system utilizing an Arduino and RC servo, making it suitable for indoor use where larger antennas cannot be installed. Magnetic loop antennas are compact and can operate effectively in confined spaces, but they do require careful handling due to the high voltages and currents they generate during operation. Users should possess the necessary technical skills to implement this project safely. The tutorial includes a comprehensive overview of the antenna's theory, specifications, and mechanical design. It outlines the components needed, including a Soviet-made variable capacitor and a digital RC servo for tuning. Safety precautions are emphasized, as the antenna can produce several kilovolts of voltage and high currents. The project is not certified for safety, and users are advised to proceed at their own risk. The tutorial also provides diagrams and explanations of the antenna's operation, making it a valuable resource for both beginners and experienced operators looking to enhance their setup.

Andrew Georgakopoulos, SV1DKD, modeled the End-Fed Half Wave (EFHW) antenna using MMANA-GAL software. He evaluated the EFHW-8010-2K from Myantennas.com for field operations, comparing it to random wires, OCFD, and dipole antennas. His results showed similar performance to OCFD, confirming EFHW's practical feeding advantage but with potential high-voltage risks at the feed point
