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…

Bob Shohet, KQ2M, a Superstation unto himself, presents (circa 2016) his winning techniques from decades of hard work and hard knocks. Bob clues you in to his strategies, listening more than just *putting* it out there, and how a little courtesy before and after contest events can make easier contacts in the future. Enjoy- […]

A Quad antenna is a full wavelength conductor in the form of a square (or circle or diamond). It is actually two half wave dipoles spaced half wave length apart, bent at right angles at l/8th wavelength points and joined together. If the Quad is fed at either sides it is vertically polarized and if…

This is a portable dipole I built for 20 meters. It works great. The SWR is really low. I would not recommend this for permanent use just because it is not build like a rock. It will do just fine for portable in the field operation. It is a great backpacking antenna. I only used…
News for Ranger lovers wig the release of the 2950DX6. This is the latest in the series of the radio with 10-12m on board, a new display and also an updated output stage putting the power at 60 watts PEP on SSB with a new “Ranger RT-1” final being used to power the radio. Expect […]
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 […]
If you have any interest in antennas at all, fasten your seat belts and hang on to your hats, because what you are about to read here is going to blow you away. Conventional wisdom concerning antenna matching and resonating is about to be shattered and the principles revealed here might just be the start […]

The Beverage (or “wave”) antenna was invented in the early 1920s by Dr. Harold H. Beverage. It was first discussed in a paper titled “The Wave Antenna – A New Type of Highly Directive Antenna” written by Beverage, Chester W. Rice and and Edward W. Kellogg for the journal of the American Institute of Electrical…

The G5RV multiband antenna is a very popular design on the HF bands. The “common” G5RV is configured as a 3/2-wave dipole on 20 meters, and works as either a shortened dipole, or a collinear-fed long wire on the other bands. In this configuration, the overall length is 102 ft, with a 28 to 34…
