A Slinky-based doublet or loaded vertical QRP antenna tested for 40 meters band

This antenna is intended for the 20-meter Band. There are two Voltage Fed Helical Dipoles, made with 2 slinky that fed with phase shift in 90 degree

An home made doblet antenna made with two Slinkys that are aproximately five meters in length connected with a twin-feed connected to a balanced ATU

A Multiband Slinky Coil for the PAC-12 portable Antenna, can be used also as a dual PAC-12 dipole by James Bennett

This article details a ham radio operator’s experience setting up HF antennas in an antenna-restricted community. Initially using an AEA Isoloop magnetic loop for QRP PSK, the author later built an attic antenna system, including dipoles for multiple HF bands and a slinky dipole for 40 meters. The setup allowed for operation on six bands with acceptable VSWR. Despite space constraints and some compromises, performance was effective. The article highlights practical strategies, emphasizing experimentation and antenna modeling for optimizing performance in limited-space environments. A valuable guide for ham radio operators facing similar restrictions.
