Lightweight 144 MHz Yagi antenna - A Lightweight 2m Yagi for SOTA. The boom is 20mm PVC electrical conduit and the elements are 2.4mm aluminium TIG welding rod. The antenna is carried as a single length of conduit with the elements stowed inside the boom, sealing them in with a bung. The driven element is connected directly to 50 Ohm coax with a BN-43-202 balun core to decouple the coax shield.

40m loaded dipole - This is an short dipole for 7 MHz. Total length of this dipole is just 10 meters, 33 feet. Missing lenght is balanced by a coil made of 49 turns of a 40mm diameter pvc pipe. The use of a choke balun is recommended, as always, to adapt the unbalanced coax cable to the balanced antenna, and to prevent RF feed back along the coax shield.

40-80 Coax Trap Dipole - Full article on how to build a home-made wire dipole antenna for 40 and 80 meters band. Article is fully in italian, as it was published on ARI RadioRivista, but is plenty of self explaining pictures that will guide you on homebrewing this trapped dipole antenna for the lower amateur radio bands.

Coaxial Collinear Antenna for 70 CM Band - This coaxial collinear antenna was built to test for my own consumption whether or not this antenna method actually works. the guiding principle is that we have multiple 1/4 wave elements fed in series , the radiation from each adds in phase to produce a large vertically polarised omni-directional antenna with substantial gain

Corned Fed Delta Loop - Author found a ratio between the lengths of the sides of the Delta Loop that give reasonably low SWR into a 50 ohm coaxial cable almost independent of the high above ground and other surroundings. This ratio also gives good results no matter orientation. Includes an online delta loop antenna calculator.

BalUn for Delta-loop & Quad-loop antennas - This Guide helps you to build the 1:2 BalUn 600 Watts DIY kit step by step. If a delta-loop or quad-loop antenna is powered with a coax cable from the transceiver it is necessary to use a 1:2 BalUn. This 1:2 BalUn uses a symmetrical 1:2 impedance transformer.
