A collection of the best new amateur radio links we reviewed this year
A new, simple way to build the Eggbeater Antenna. This document introduces a new, simpler way to build the Eggbeater antenna. It also introduces a technically proper way to construct the Eggbeater antenna in order to achieve the best result.
This page offers radio amateurs (experienced and beginners) a useful overview and tutorials on HF propagation conditions. Here you will find basic and advanced explanations, as well as practical methods, charts, maps, models, real-time measurements, assessments, comparisons, references, and an index.
The ADIF Processor is an online application that visualizes amateur radio contacts from an ADIF log file using Google Earth. SOTA CSV log files can also be used. As well as allowing you to view and explore your contacts in Google Earth, you will be able to see a Markdown or text table of contacts, use the output ADIF file which contains QRZ.com data, accurate contact distances and fields populated from comments in the input file. Print QSL labels. One of the benefits of using the ADIF Processor before uploading/storing your ADIF file is detecting errors in callsigns and activity references (e.g. POTA or SOTA references).
This article describes the development of two tunable antennas each consisting of three interconnected small loops and capable of providing excellent DX performance. The aerials are home-constructed, and located in a very small garden with a minimum of visual impact on the neighbours and are low enough in height to avoid the attention of UK planning authorities.
Building a LEO satellite ground station, and eggbeater antenna for the 70cm band
Multi band Moxon Yagi Antenna for 10,15,20 meters band with just one feed line. Drawing and project with dimensions
Roach pole vertical antenna for 40 and 30 meters band featuring good performance on short skips contacts compared to wire dipole
This dynamic DX Map aggregates various resources that will help radio amateurs to operate their stations in search of long distance contacts, DX. HamDXMap displays current MUF values and foF2 critical frequency values around the globe.
A DIY aluminium push up mast project. The final mast includes 7 aluminium tubes with 6 cable clamps
This home made antenna provides around 10.5dBd gain on 70cm, and 6.5dBd gain on 2m, which is more than adequate to work the FM satellites with a handheld dual band radio
Building the Three-Element Hex Beam. A project and construction phase of an HF hex-Beam antenna using trees to hang the antenna and a Channel Master antenna rotator.
This antenna is an off-center fed spiral dipole for 40 meters. The spiral dipole is very compact, making it well-suited for limited space (like an apartment patio), while the off-center feed gives the antenna some multiband capability.
An Arduino-Based Solution for 5-35 WPM Signals. Explore the circuit, controls, and setup of this innovative device designed by Allen Baker (KG4JJH). Decode Morse code efficiently, providing a valuable tool for operators, from novices to veterans, and offering a hands-on experience with Arduino technology.
Despite the model limitations, such as a single TXRX antenna connector, the author shares a reversible modification involving a coax relay for enhanced functionality, demonstrating the transceiver's adaptability and customization potential.
The purpose of this construction is to enable the realization of an HF antenna called W3DZZ with minimal equipment and low cost. It allows traffic on the bands 3.5 / 7/14/21 and 28MHz.
