Having just purchased an Eton G3 radio I wanted to get into Short Wave Listening a bit more. I am generally interested in NAVTEX, DGPS signals and Numbers Stations but the internal G3 bar type ante…
Ok, I'm not kidding: I'm really trying to shorten a longwire antenna. The problem: a newcomer want his first antenna, want 40-10 meters at...
So you’ve built yourself an awesome radar system but it’s not performing as well as you had hoped. You assume this may have something to do with the tin cans you are using for antennas.…
The Moxon is an antenna that is easy to build, inexpensive, and has good performance. The 6 meter version was a perfect choice for our Field Day station.

Build the Pennyloop UHF Antenna: The Pennyloop UHF antenna offers high performance in a very simple and cost effective design. It is also a very compact design lending itself well to a variety of mounting options and locations inside and outside. Outside will give the best performa…
It's fun to take a minimum of equipment out to a high place, lob a half-wave long wire antenna up into a tree, or support it with a fibreglass pole, and off you go - but such a long wire typically has a high (2.5kΩ to 3kΩ) impedance. To make it work, this needs transforming…
