Remote Wire Tuner

Trapped 80m/40m NVIS Dipole

2m Log Periodic Beam

Originally purchased for ARES use, this might just end up replacing the EFHW at home.

I built this.... just because. I now use it to hit the club repeater on the little radio in my workshop.

If I can't hear them on the vertical, I usually can on the horizontal EFHW.

Small transmitting loop, magnetic loop antennas.

STLs, or small transmitting loops.  Also known as magnetic loop antennas.  Diminutive in size, but big on performance!   

Loading Coils for Portable Vertical Antennas

Loading coils add inductance to the antenna system, allowing for a shorter radiator. Also permits the use of several bands without the need for a tuner.

My Hitch Mount Antenna Solution

I made this out of scrap tubing I had, but it could also be easily fabricated by your local welding shop for not a lot of money.

Wire HF Antennas

Impedance Transformers / Matching Netwroks

My Hitch Mount Antenna Solution

I use a lot of different DIY antennas, both horizontal and vertical.
