NEC4WIN is a 32 bits commercial antenna simulation software based on MININEC3 developed by the Naval Ocean Systems Center in the 70s and 80s. It runs under Windows and can be used to simulate, analyze and optimize wire antennas, beams, verticals, etc. NEC4WIN has limitations. They are the same as Mininec3 on which the engine is based.

The array consists of 7 vertical antennas arranged as 6 verticals in a hexagon shape plus 1 additional vertical in the center of the hexagon

This article compares two commercial vertical antennas for the 4-meter amateur radio band: the Watson WVB-70 half-wave and the Sirio CX4-71. The Watson measures 2.03m in length, costs around £40, and exhibited adequate performance but required additional waterproofing after rain affected its VSWR readings. The longer Sirio CX4-71 (3.02m) performed noticeably better, delivering signals approximately 2 S-points stronger than the Watson. The Sirio demonstrated high build quality, a stable 1.2-1.4:1 VSWR, and weather resilience, though minor VSWR fluctuations were observed during rain and frost. Both antennas are half-wave designs requiring no ground plane radials.

A 220-ft tower that has five catenary lines, each about 500 feet long. Four of these lines, running NE, SE, SW, and NW support four 1/4-wavelength wire verticals used in a 160-meter four-square antenna.

The advantage of 5/8 wave antenna is that it has the lowest angle of radiation and has about 1dB more gain when compared to 1/4 and 1/2 verticals. So the 5/8 should be the favourite choice for DX.

This Field Day Vertical Antenna project is the result of many years of attending various field day sites and realizing that what was needed is a simple, easy to assemble vertical antenna. The design of this Field Day Antenna is not very novel and leverages ideas from Butternut verticals and ARRL publications. The one essential requirement was that the antenna can be raised by just one person. The design of this Field Day Antenna is an above ground mounted ground plane vertical.

This article provides a detailed guide on how to build a no holes roof mount for ham radio antennas. The author shares their design that can hold 2 masts and offers tips on installation. The mount is versatile and can handle small 144 Mhz or 432 Mhz beams, as well as small verticals. With adjustable angles and spacing, the mount can be customized to fit different roof types. Additionally, the author suggests affordable options for obtaining Dish antenna mounts. Overall, this DIY project offers a cost-effective solution for ham radio operators looking to mount antennas on their roofs.

This presentation on antennas is a practical guide for amateur radio operators. The key takeaway is that the best antenna for your station depends on your constraints and goals. There is no magic solution and buying a wire antenna is not recommended as it might be expensive and not as effective. The presentation covers different antenna types including dipoles, verticals, Yagis and loop antennas. Important factors to consider when choosing an antenna include SWR, feeder types, and whether you need a balun. The author emphasizes that ATUs don’t improve a poor antenna and advises against obsessing over SWR readings.

A vertical delta loop is a practical antenna for low bands, popular for its simple design requiring just one support. Its shape, an equilateral triangle in free space, yields optimal gain and radiation resistance. Deviating from this shape lowers performance. The delta loop can be polarized either horizontally or vertically based on the feed point location. In vertical polarization, it acts as two quarter-wave verticals with the baseline feeding one side. This design minimizes radiation from the baseline while maintaining effective operation.

WB5NHL describes setting up a 160-meter antenna on a small suburban lot, where standard options like Beverage antennas and 1/4 wavelength verticals require extensive space and ground systems. Instead, Guy Olinger's Folded Counterpoise (FCP) provides a solution. The FCP minimizes ground losses by using a folded wire design, allowing effective antenna placement in limited space. The FCP, fed with an isolation transformer, enabled WB5NHL's first 160-meter antenna installation, offering improved performance despite space constraints.

This PDF document provides detailed information on the design, construction, and tuning of trapped vertical antennas with radials for ham radio operators. It covers the theory behind trapped antennas, practical considerations for installation, and tips for optimizing performance. Whether you are a beginner looking to build your first HF antenna or an experienced operator seeking to improve your station setup, this guide offers valuable insights and instructions. By understanding the principles outlined in this document, hams can enhance their operating experience and make the most of their radio communication capabilities.
