The article titled “Is this Ewe for You?” by Floyd Koontz, WA2WVL, published on QST February 1995 presents a simple yet effective receiving antenna design tailored for 80 and 160-meter DXing. As solar activity decreases, making MF and HF signals weaker and ambient noise stronger, serious DX operators seek improved signal-to-noise ratios through directive receive
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.
Lloyd Butler VK5BR evaluated the power efficiency of various Z Match Tuner configurations across antenna load conditions, uncovering discrepancies in performance across different frequencies and load resistances.
The FT-991 Memory Manager is a freeware program created by F6ECN designed to assist in managing, programming, and remotely controlling Yaesu FT-991 and FT-991A ham radio transceivers. It is compatible with Windows 7 through 10, on both 32 and 64 bit systems. While the primary user documentation is in French, the software’s latest version, 2.2.7.5, is available for download.

By Kees Wiegers, PA5CW (ex-PA3BHS) It looked impossible to get a large beam for 20 meters up a tower, but it was something I always wanted. So after attending a presentation by John Devoldere, ON4UN, of Merelbeke, Belgium, I decided to try and build my own beam. At the presentation, John demonstrated software for designing
