The 160/80m coaxial receiving loop antennas are designed to enhance reception on the top bands while minimizing noise. These antennas are particularly beneficial for operators with limited space, as they can be constructed using lightweight materials, making them portable and easy to deploy. The standalone 80m loop has a diameter of approximately four feet, allowing for easy rotation and installation above existing VHF antennas. Over the years, many amateur radio operators have turned to loop antennas as a viable alternative to traditional beverage antennas. The design allows for significant noise reduction, especially when paired with a quality pre-amplifier. Experimentation with various configurations has led to the discovery that diamond-shaped loops provide optimal performance. Users have reported a noticeable improvement in signal quality, making these loops a valuable addition to any low-band DXing setup.

This project details three variants of a vertical half-wave antenna design for the 4-meter (70MHz) amateur radio band. The antennas use end-feeding with a parallel-tuned circuit for impedance matching to 50-ohm coaxial cable. The first variant uses suspended flexible wire for portable use, the second employs a fiberglass rod with internal wire for permanent outdoor installation, and the third utilizes aluminum tent poles for quick mobile deployment. Despite the narrow bandwidth of the matching circuit, this suits the narrow 4m FM allocation well. The design offers an effective omnidirectional radiation pattern and can be constructed with readily available materials.
