A simple multi-band magnetic loop antenna designed for 20, 30 and 40 metres, made from 16 feet of RG58 coax cable. The performance is impressive for its size but not meant to replace a Yagi. The antenna features a tuning head, matching unit, tuning capacitors, band change switch, and matching transformer. The feedpoint is at the bottom of the loop. The document provides detailed instructions on assembly and operation.

F6CHT plan for a multiband yagi antenna that covers 6 to 30 meters band in french

Demonstrates the product line of _LZ Antenna Ltd._, a Bulgarian manufacturer specializing in amateur radio antennas and custom electronic devices. The company focuses on robust, high-quality HF multiband Yagi and vertical antennas, leveraging over 20 years of experience from founder Georgi Georgiev in radio amateur development. Featured models include the LZA 8-4, LZA-10-3, and the LZA-7-3A WRTC 2022, alongside various rotary dipoles like the LZA1 40/30m. Provides specifications for several Yagi antennas, such as the LZA-9-5, LZA-13-7, and LZA-6-3 (a 6-element, 3-band design). The company emphasizes applying "leading edge technology" to high-frequency communication equipment production, with products designed for durability and performance. The LZA-10-5 Yagi offers **12.5 dBi** gain on 10m, while the LZA-13-7 provides **13.2 dBi** on 20m, showcasing competitive gain figures for DXing and contesting.

This project details the construction of a **full-sized 40-meter vertical antenna**, born from a renewed interest in 7 MHz operation and a desire for improved effectiveness over simple dipoles. The author, K5DKZ, initially focused on VHF experimentation, which provided an inventory of aluminum tubing and fiberglass spreaders for this endeavor. Before this vertical, K5DKZ utilized an 80/40 meter inverted-vee trap dipole and a 40-meter broadband dipole, but now primarily uses a pair of full-sized, phased, quarter-wave verticals spaced 35 feet apart for serious 40-meter work. The construction involves a base-heavy design for stability, using a 44.5-inch section of 1-1/4 inch steel TV mast driven into 1-3/8 inch aluminum tubing, insulated by a 105-inch section of Schedule 40 PVC pipe. The assembly reaches 31 feet, close to the 32 feet required for a quarter-wavelength on 40 meters, with fine-tuning achieved by winding wire onto a fiberglass spreader. The design is explicitly presented as a foundation for a two-element 40-meter Yagi beam, outlining modifications like substituting aluminum for steel in the base and using an inductive hairpin match for the driven element. The article also discusses tuning considerations for a large 40-meter beam, noting the 100 to 200 kHz upward frequency shift when raised, and suggesting methods for installation on a tower. The author emphasizes the cost-effectiveness and good performance of the monopole approach, especially when multiple verticals are needed.

Presents _Beam Quest_, the official Japanese distributor for _SteppIR_ antennas, detailing their product lineup and services. The site showcases various _SteppIR_ Yagi models, including the _Dream Beam_ series (DB42, DB36, DB18E, DB11) with configurations from two to four elements, alongside the _Big IR_ and _Small IR_ vertical antennas. It also lists accessories such as TX/RX and PC interfaces, essential for integrating these advanced antenna systems into a ham shack. Operators often seek out _SteppIR_ antennas for their dynamically adjustable element lengths, which allow for optimization across multiple bands, a significant advantage for DXing and contesting. This adaptability contrasts sharply with fixed-element Yagis, providing a distinct edge in varying band conditions. The resource provides contact information, including email and phone numbers, for inquiries and support regarding _SteppIR_ products within Japan, serving as a direct point of contact for sales and technical assistance.

The original HEXBEAM was developed by Mike Traffic, N1HXA, in the early nineties. It is true that an M over W configured yagi antenna that resembled a butterfly was earlier tried successfully. But the advanced electrical design, the characteristic nesting concept and central terminal post that enable the multi band functionality along with the basic hardware design were all developed by Mike Traffie.

This multiband transverter project features power output at 13,8V 50MHz 15W, 70MHz 10W, second harmonic < 65dBc. Single N connector of antenna, suitable for a dual band Yagi. Article include Block Diagram for Dual Transverter and low pass filters

Showcasing German engineering, ANjo Antennen develops and manufactures a diverse portfolio of amateur radio and commercial antenna products. Their offerings span a wide frequency range from 1.8 MHz to 3000 MHz, emphasizing electrical and mechanical precision for longevity. The company actively participates in events like FUNK.TAG Kassel, providing opportunities for direct engagement and order pickup. ANjo's product line includes high-performance **Yagi antennas** optimized for Tropo and EME, along with multi-stacked Quad antennas designed for contest operations, featuring wide horizontal and narrow vertical beamwidths. They also produce circularly polarized satellite antennas, some with switchable LHCP/RHCP, leveraging their commercial satellite antenna expertise. Beyond amateur applications, ANjo provides flexible, custom antenna solutions for commercial sectors such as BOS, EMC measurements, and telemetry. Their commitment to quality is evident in the Premium-Line antennas, which utilize **1.4301 (V2A) stainless steel** for mast clamps and connectors, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance. They also offer end-fed HF multiband wire antennas, known for their compact footprint and discreet installation.

The multiband tuned doublet, or center-fed Zepp, is a simple and efficient HF antenna that operates effectively across most amateur bands using a balanced parallel-wire feedline and antenna tuner. Unlike coax-fed dipoles, it tolerates impedance mismatches with minimal loss. By selecting suitable feedline and dipole lengths, one can achieve stable multi-band operation. While it doesn’t match monoband Yagis, it offers excellent performance, low cost, and broad coverage. Its radiation pattern and efficiency vary with frequency, but it remains a practical and versatile solution for HF operators.

Rob Conklin N4WGY delivered an informative presentation on Hexagonal Beam antennas (Hex Beams), detailing their construction, performance, and benefits over traditional multiband Yagi antennas. He highlighted their cost-effectiveness, lower wind loading, lightweight design, and multi-band capabilities without requiring traps. Conklin also discussed the improved G3TXQ design, which offers better SWR performance across ham bands. The presentation included practical construction tips, resource recommendations, and demonstrations of performance analysis tools, making it a valuable resource for both novice and experienced antenna builders.
