The Most Popular Antenna Ever
Probably the most popular antenna in the world: the ever-popular L-antenna. At least one of the easiest to build. -- Read more --



Slopers -- simple and effective antennas
Mark Connelly: For a simple antenna, a sloper antenna has a lot going for it. Two opposing-direction slopers fed to a phasing unit is a time-tested interference-fighting solution endorsed by a number of the hobby's better known practitioners. -- Read more --



Electrically-Short Dipole Antennas
Mark Connelly: It is surprising how much signal can be obtained from an electrically short dipole when a correct matching transformer is used. -- Read more --



Make That Perfect Dipole Antennas
The dipole antenna is perhaps the simplest and easiest antenna to erect. And still there are many basic mistakes made. So here is some reference data, pointers and ideas that may help you. -- Read more --



W8JK wire antenna
An interesting variation of the dipole, giving very good low angle reception - good for long distance DX. -- Read more --



A Practical Low Band Antenna
Take some 40 metres of wire, wind half of it on a 2 metre glass fiber stick, let the rest sloop, and , voilá: You got yourself a fine low band DX antenna. -- Read more --



Success with Attic Loop
Lacking outdoor space for that antenna? Here's what to do: Put as much wire in your attic as you possibly can. -- Read more --



Terminated Shortwave Antenna
-- a baby Beverage
Cyril Dufault: Get better low frequency reception with this experimental type of antenna. It can be used almost everywhere and is simple to construct. -- Read more --



Insulated wires, or not
Well, in short, it doesn't matter. Use what you have, or can get. The only real draw back with insulated wire is that it is somewhat heavier per unit length. -- Read more --
