This presentation explaining the basics of End Fed Half Wave (EFHW) antennas was done at the DATV experimenters night hosted by Justin VK7TW and Hayden VK7HH. Topics covered were the…
Have you struggled with building quality ham radio antennas? High SWR? Problems with feedline? Well in this video I explore 5 common mistakes made by antenna builders and some tips…
With the success of my 11 element 2m LFA, I decided to build a smaller 8 element out of spare material I had here at home whilst waiting for the…
Further to my previous posts on the "hybrid" LFA... I managed to finish construction over the weekend and install it on my tower. At the same time I also decided to…
Further to my previous post about the LFA, I have now completed construction on my "hybrid" version. The next step is to prepare a balun for the feed. But what balun…
As per my previous post I have been looking at building a LFA yagi. Essentially this is a folded dipole loop turned on its side (i.e. mounted parallel with the rest of…
Sometime ago I built a decently sized 6m yagi here at home - a YU7EF EF0606. This yagi has performed very well over the past few years, and I've had to…
On Wednesday 1st of March, a two dipole array was installed at VK7RTC. These were generously and professionally constructed by Dion VK7DB. The design picked is mainly an elliptical pattern. Dion…
Having already had limited success with converting the Stationmaster MK1 to 6m, I decided to try something different... turning it into a 5/8 vertical. I modelled a 5/8 in MMANA.…
I had been wanting a better antenna for the SSB portion of 6m for the openings over summer. Having seen how a local amateur built a 2m 11 element YU7EF…
