Bobtails are vertical arrays that look like the letter "E" turned 90° clockwise onto its tails. They have 3 quarter wave vertical elements and are one wavelength long. The Half Square is a shortened Bobtail- it has 2 quarter wave vertical elements and is a half wave long. -
The CobWebb antenna project is a compact, multiband HF solution ideal for amateur radio operators. Covering 14-28 MHz, it features a square dipole array with near-omnidirectional coverage and unity gain. This guide details a DIY approach, using a 1:4 current balun for impedance matching. Construction involves aluminum and fiberglass tubing, with optimized element tuning for SWR performance. Weather resistance improvements and resonance shift considerations are also discussed. Build your own CobWebb antenna for an efficient, space-saving HF experience.
