This antenna is made from either an old CB whip or a stripped-down 2m 5/8 whip. When you strip down and re-shrink an antenna, be careful because some heat shrink tubes can change the antenna’s resonance, especially with helical windings. You can use a piece of 20mm conduit for the former of L2 with a

In this article, VK5AH shares his know-how on building and tweaking the HF 4 Bander antenna. Packed with practical advice on setting it up, making adjustments, and understanding its performance
While camping by Lake Eyre, VK5AH invented a new antenna, better than the mobile whip. It clips onto the mobile mount and is hoisted onto a nearby tree. It works well at a 45-degree angle and can be adjusted for 160 meters.
This article discusses the characteristics of a 102 ft. center-fed dipole antenna strung between two 37 ft. poles. It explores predicted feedpoint impedance variations across different frequencies and the corresponding impact on the VSWR for various feedlines, based on EZNEC antenna modeling software predictions. It also analyses how alterations in element lengths of antennas significantly affect their performance at higher frequencies.
