• 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.

• Beverage Antenna Construction - Types of beverage wires, choose best supports and insulators, multiple antennas at one feedpoint, all well documented with photos and exaustive explanation. This article offers insights on building Beverage antennas for optimal reception. Key takeaways include using strong wire (copperweld or electric fence), proper termination, and a good grounding system (multiple copper rods). The author recommends maximizing antenna length and orienting it towards desired stations. For best results, utilize an antenna tuner and experiment with termination resistors.

• Speaker Wire Doublet Antenna - A portable wire antenna for the HF bands, made with a common speaker wire. In its natural form, the speaker wire acts as parallel feed line coming up to the bottom of the PVC feed point. From there, it's split into two wires, one heading out each side of the PVC tee.

• 20 thru 10 Meter Fan Dipole - The 20 thru 10 meter dipole is constructed from stranded insulated wire available in most hardware stores. The feedpoint uses an 8 inch long section of 2 inch diameter PVC pipe. A section of wire joins the elements at either side of the feedpoint to avoid the inductance of square knots used on lower frequencies.

• Halo Antenna for 50 MHz - The antenna described in this article is for 50 MHz, but the design can be scaled for any band, including VHF, UHF, or even the higher HF bands. The antenna is nothing more than a square loop of wire, approximately 30" (or ~76cm) per side. The loop is fed in the middle of one side, and the opposite side to the feed point has a gap in it.
