A simple, cheap and easy to build 26 feet long vertical antenna that works DX on 20 - 10 meters including WARC Bands, it is designed for portability for field days, camping, or permanent installation, cost, and to achieve at least 1/2 wavelength on the WARC bands.

OY/DL3UB , Faroe Islands (29. July - 09. August) verticals + PA (max 500w) WARC bands cw

Dipole antennas, vertical half-wave dipole antennas with impedence tranformes that can be used for portable operations. Some well worn antenna configurations are the easiest and loudest lash-ups you can try.

This article describes the construction of a three-band vertical antenna for the WARC bands (10, 18, and 24.9 MHz). Unlike a previous design using thin wire requiring a complex matching device, this version uses a telescopic set of pipes, reducing reactances and simplifying the matching device to two coils and two capacitors. The article provides details on the antenna model, the matching device circuit, and tuning methods, including the use of frameless coils and variable capacitors. With proper tuning, the antenna achieves a VSWR not exceeding 1.3 across all bands, demonstrating a practical and efficient design for amateur radio enthusiasts.

This document provides a detailed guide on constructing and mounting a folded dipol for the 146 MHz frequency in a vertical configuration to be used in Yagi antennas. The step-by-step instructions and diagrams included make it easy for hams to build and set up this type of antenna. Understanding and implementing this design can enhance the performance of radio communication for Amateurs operating in the 2-meter band. Whether you are looking to improve your signal strength or experiment with antenna designs, this resource offers valuable insights and practical information.

This PDF document discusses the setup and operation of UHF vertical dipole phased stack antennas for hams. It covers the advantages, principles, and practical aspects of using this type of antenna configuration. The document is a useful resource for amateur radio operators looking to improve their UHF station setup with phased array antennas.
