To view a few of my antennas and station, look at MY STATION

 

Multiple Articles at:

Receiving: Contains information in many articles. Receiving antennas including Beverages and Beverage Antenna Construction, Loops, K9AY, Pennant, Flag, EWE, Slinky Beverage Antennas, vertical arrays, magnetic loop antenna, and terminated loop arrays.

Transmitting:  Pictures of some transmitting antennas at my station. Most transmitting antennas link from the top of this page.

Single articles:

Balun and Core Selection: Contains information on core selection for transformers and baluns

Baluns, Sleeve balun: How they work

Baluns, transmitting: What they do, how they do it, and how to test them

Balun, Toroid: Winding style, debunking split-winding will improve performance  

Crossfire Phasing: Contains information on cross fire phasing and why it is superior for broad bandwidth arrays

Combiner and Splitters: Contains information on Magic-T splitters and combiners, how they work and what they do

Detuning Towers: A quick explanation of how it works and the incorrect idea that you adjust for minimum current! Pass this along, it is a major error to tune for minimum current!

EH antenna: the E-H and CFA antennas. How they work. 

Inductors, Loading: A brief tutorial on loading inductors
