Isotron edit / delete

DIY clone of the commercial Isotron antennas. They are unimpressed with the performance.

Build the EH STAR Antenna for 27 MHz Packet Radio edit / delete

Building an EH antenna for CB use. He suggests it works all right, but it's very sensitive to the downlead placement -- i.e. it's using the downlead as a radiator.

EH Antenna Systems edit / delete

More commercial small-space antennas, although this is definitely from the wackier end of the experimental radio spectrum, and nobody agrees with *their* explanation of how they work. (Don't miss the paper that mentions in passing that they think they should get a Nobel prize in physics for the design!)

Isotron Antennas - Low Profile Limited and Restricted Space Antennas for HF edit / delete

Commercial HF antennas of unusual design. They get good reviews, although people can't agree on how they work. Pretty, but expensive and not very weatherproof.

Firestik Antenna Company Home Page edit / delete

Neat (and reasonably cheap) aerials that are essentially a loading coil wound onto a fibreglass stick.

CARC Newsletter: The PA0RDT Active Antenna edit / delete

Neat "sampling" antenna for lower frequencies that uses a length of circuit board as a whip with a simple amplifier connected directly to it.

Excellent technical stuff about different types of aerials.

2m Antenna edit / delete

Yup, that's about the simplest 2m dipole you can make -- no balun, even. Built one out of 1960s-vintage Rediffusion catenary wire. It works.

OH1SDR edit / delete

A very pretty quad 2m/70cm antenna -- and some interesting mods to PMR radios.
