G5RV Antenna
This article reports the results of searches performed on the G5RV antenna. As stated in several articles concerning the G5RV antenna an specially in old French books written by R.A. Raffin, F3AV and R. Piat, F3YX and more recently. Unfortunately years have passed and I only kept in memory that at the bottom of the

SWL home made antennas
Home-made antennas can greatly improve the performance of AM and FM radios, short-wave receivers, and scanners. If you are a talk-radio fan then experiment with the AM band antennas and you will be able to hear shows from all over the country with surprising clarity. Short-wave receivers are always coping with weak signals and they

The Lattin 5 band Antenna
The antenna was named for W4JRW who invented it and holds a patent on the basic principle and uses quarter wave stubs, which act as insulators at the frequency for which they are cut. For example, the 6’11” stub (quarter wave times the velocity factor 0.8 of the feed line used) blocks RF for 28
