This web page describes a small, single tuned circuit regenerative receiver primarily for daylight reception in the 16, 19, 22 and 25 meter international shortwave broadcast bands. I have attempted to incorporate every improvement I have thought of into this receiver, including maximum mechanical rigidity and electrical shielding. This receiver is suited for reception of…

Apartament Antennas
Low profile operating APARTMENT ANTENNAS Successful apartment operating starts with an evaluation of the location. Are you lucky enough to be on a upper floor? Is there trees outside? How about a deck? Maybe even access to the roof. Any of these situations can be advantageous. One thing to remember with apartments is to try…
Antenna Maker
A freeware dos program by John Agrelius released in early 90’s but still very actual. It allows to quickly calculate dimensions for Quads antennas, Yagi antenna, Inverted vees antennas as well as J-poles and Traps to extend dipoles band coverage. Just extract the antmaker.zip file and start the Menu.exe batch file.
Swiss Quad Antenna
Alain Miqueu, F6ITV Which monoband directional antenna can provide a good gain, a good F/B ratio, being not to large and mechanically within hamradio skill? As it is used to say, it’s a process that consists in searching the best compromise. This excludes high-gain and long-boom Yagi that are very large and heavy. A 3-element…
A Beginners’ Guide to Amateur Radio What is Amateur Radio? – Many Hobbies in One!
What is Amateur Radio, what do radio amateurs do? Do I have to buy expensive commercial equipment, or can I build my own? Will I need massive aerials (antennas)? What kind of licence do I need? How do I get one? Do I need to pass technical exams and morse tests? Where do I start?…
10 meter dipole
I was in need of an antenna for my 10 meter beacon, so I decided to build a design I remembered seeing in an issue of QST several years ago. A friend of mine built one at the time and it worked great. It is a simple rigid dipole made from two lengths of 1/2″…
YagiMax
Even if outdated, is still a good program to calculate and desing yagi antennas elements dimensions, sizing and spacing. I’ve used it to verify some antenna plans I’ve found on the net. It’s particularity is that you at first need to tell the program the size of your antenna and then, you can calculate resonating…
The flower pot antenna
About the project It’s a portable dual-band antenna working principally on 10 meters but also close to the 30 meter band. It’s compact, light, economical and doesn’t need any radial.If you would like to repeat my experiment you will first need a big plastic flower pot (around 70cm high, 60 top diameter and 30 cm…
