Optimizing antenna portability for QRP field operations often involves trade-offs between efficiency and physical footprint. The PAC-12 antenna project addresses this by presenting a **multi-band portable vertical** design, specifically tailored for amateur radio operators who travel frequently and utilize compact QRP transceivers like the Elecraft K1/K2 or Yaesu FT-817. This design emphasizes ease of homebrewing using readily available hardware store components, allowing for customizability and repair in the field. The project details the construction of a sectional aluminum rod base, interchangeable loading coils for various HF bands, and a telescoping whip. Key components include 1/4-inch aluminum rod, PVC risers for coil forms, and a BNC feedpoint insulator. The design prioritizes a breakdown length of 12 inches or less, making it highly packable for travel, while still achieving competitive efficiency, as demonstrated by its first-place finish in the HFPack antenna shootout at Pacificon 2001 against a 1/4-wavelength wire vertical. Comprehensive instructions cover whip preparation, **loading coil construction** with specific dimensions for bands from 40m to 10m (with an untested 80m approximation), base section fabrication, and feedpoint insulator assembly. The resource also includes guidance on radial deployment, threading aluminum rod, and showcases various PAC-12 builds by NJQRP Club members, illustrating its adaptability and widespread adoption among QRP enthusiasts.

For amateur radio operators seeking a compact, directional antenna for the 10-meter band, this resource details the construction of a Moxon Yagi beam. The design utilizes readily available PVC pipe for the boom and elements, with specific measurements derived from the Moxon Rectangle Generator software. It outlines the assembly process for the main boom and end sections, providing critical dimensions for element spacing and overall length to achieve resonance at 28 MHz. The Moxon configuration offers a smaller footprint compared to a traditional Yagi, making it suitable for limited space installations. The article provides practical guidance for hams interested in a DIY antenna project, emphasizing the use of common hardware store materials. It specifies a 1 1/4" PVC schedule 40 pipe for the main boom and details the use of tees, reducing bushings, and 45-degree elbows for the element ends. Key measurements like the 55" spacing for the ends and the 150 3/4" overall length are provided, enabling replication of the design. The Moxon's inherent wide beamwidth and good front-to-back ratio make it an effective choice for DXing on 10 meters.
