The Ultimate Guide to 11 Meter CB Antennas edit / delete

A surprisingly good reference to antenna design from an "11 meter" enthusiast. (This being one of those bands that has wavelengths long enough to make antenna design nontrivial, but not so long that you're always compromising...)

L'ANTENNE ISOTRON edit / delete

Right, this is more interesting: this guy twigged that the Isotron and EH antennas look like they're operating on similar principles, and came up with a simpler design drawing on both, which can be homebrewed with some plastic pipe and old hard disk platters (!). Looks like it works well. There's a PDF here giving simple instructions for building the CB version.

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

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.

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