W5GI Mystery Antenna ^pop - W5GI Mystery Antenna is a multi-band wire antenna that performs exceptionally well even though it confounds antenna modeling software. This antenna covers 80 to 6 meters with low feed point impedance and will work with most radios, with or without an antenna tuner. It is approximately 100 feet long, can handle the legal limit, and is easy and inexpensive to build. It is similar to a G5RV but a much better performer especially on 20 meters.

WW2Y/K2WI Beverage design - Ideas for enhanced beverage antenna performance, Single wire beverage improvements and arrays of two beverages. This article explores improving reception with Beverage antennas. It discusses single wire Beverages and their limitations. Then it compares two array configurations: broadside and end-fire. Broadside offers better front-to-side ratio but requires more space. End-fire offers better front-to-back ratio and takes less space but is trickier to implement for multiple bands. The article concludes with a 3-element end-fire design for excellent performance and explores possibilities for dual-band configurations.
