Article by VE3GK I was assembling a HY/GAIN, TH6DXX, a 10 – 15 and 20 meter beam the other day and thought there might be some interest in the function of the traps. I have also included some practical information on howto build traps for a multi-band, 10-15-20 meter antenna. RESONATE PARALLEL NETWORKS REVIEWED: When…

In this article he shares some of his experiences with receiving antennas. lf you live on…
Make a magnetic loop antenna for 7-21 MHz
This antenna has several advantages, not least being only 1 metre diameter! This loop relies on being horizontally polarised and receives only the magnetic wave, thus as most noise in the domestic environment is vertically polarised and electrical wave, it delivers low noise to your transeiver/receiver, which makes for nice clean listening. In addition any…

Introduction A rotating quad for 80 meters are you crazy? well i did it and it worked well. now i’m not saying that i think anyone else be as nuts as me but it seemed to fun be idea at the time. i remember calling into a local 80 meter net on 3.755 mhz asking…
The Copper Cactus Antenna
Dear Fellow Hams Here are the numbers for the Copper Cactus J-Pole antenna!I hope you are already familiar with the construction of the standard J-Pole antenna, so I won’t go into any unnecessary detail. The antenna may be built as a MonoBander, DuoBander, TriBander, QuadBander or whatever with great success.You can either feed it with…

Can you use a pipe cutter or a hack saw, can you solder – then here is how to build a SIMPLE ”J” antenna that will more than double your 2 meter (and even 440) performance! by Dale “Kuby” Kubichek, N6JSX
HF Receiving loop antenna
Receiving HF signals at my location is a compromise situation due to the antennas I use and the high noise environment in the city. Although my transceiver has good selectivity and excellent filters, I suffer from high noise conditions that at times make receiving a chore. This is true for both weak-signal DX as well…
