Ham radio antenna

Simple, cheap DIY radio scanner antenna (receive only, for police scanners)

You can put your ham radio antenna in the attic for transmission and reception of ham signals. Installing an antenna in the attic will work just in most cases with minimal attenuation and signal loss but this may not always be a solution depending on the building materials. Attic antenna installation comes as an option for most people mainly to circumvent HOA restrictions and for aesthetics.

The Original 2 meter KB9VBR J-Pole antenna The Two Meter J-Pole Antenna is our most popular model. It comes in two different configurations, either as a one piece antenna for base station use, or as a two piece breakaway model great for portable operations. There are literally hundreds of antennas on the market, what makes […]

It surprises some people to learn that, though cell phones offer inexpensive, instantaneous communication worldwide, there are still millions of active ham radio operators around the world. We like to say that there is something for everyone in our h...

The delta loop antenna, like the Greek uppercase letter “delta” (∆) from which it draws its name, is triangle-shaped (Fig. 14-8). The delta loop is a full wavelength, with elements approximately 2 percent longer than the natural wavelength (like the quad). The actual length will be a function of the proximity and nature of the underlying ground, so some experimentation is necessary. The approximate preadjustment lengths of the sides are found from: The delta loop antenna is fed from 52-Ω…

Explore top ham radio antennas and streamline your emergency communication setup. Our guide offers insights into the best antennas for maintaining contact during critical situations with your ham radio.

Your first Amateur radio antenna. The all time favorite Ham Radio wire antenna is the half-wavelength, center-fed, dipole. It is easy to build and it performs adequately. The dipole is the reference used to measure the performance of the other antennas. It's the base line. The dipole is a great reference point for amateur radio because you can actually build one (yes you can). And on some of the lower bands, most amateur radio operators will be using these. So you don't have to worry about…

Phil EI9KP has very kindly sent on details of the Delta Loop antenna that he built for the new 40 MHz / 8-metre band. The Delta Loop is a very popular antenna on the HF bands and can be used with success at the lower VHF bands as well. The dimensions of the Delta Loop for 40 MHz are shown below... Some key points... 1) Up or Down....The Delta Loop can be orientated so that it is pointing up or down. The advantage of having the apex at the top is that it may be be more mechanically secure as…

I have a radio that I purchased from ebay and it did not have an antenna in the cabinet. How does one duplicate this type of loop antenna. I do not know the…

Here is my home HF antenna. It is an off centre fed dipole, with 10 feet of vertical radiator. It needs no tuner on 40m, 20m and 10m. It also works fine on all bands above 40m with a tuner, and even below 40m on 60m, and 80m, although the coax losses will be higher.
