Antenna Projects and Ideas
Since I live on what you could consider a small lot (appx 0.4 acres), I find that fitting a antenna farm into it requires a little ingenuity and perseverance. One of the ways I find that makes my operating more enjoyable is to research antenna designs and experiment with modelling programs to see what improvements I can come up with to optimize my antenna and available space.
This page contains information on some of my antenna projects that produced an actual working antenna. These antennas are currently in use at my QTH. Where the design or information is not of my work, credit will be noted to the author or inventor. Feel free to copy this information for you own use. Please respect mine and others efforts with due credit where appropriate. After all sharing ideas and information is what the true spirit of Amateur Radio is all about.
