Hiking, Hams and Hills – Station #6 of the AT Golden Packet
Hiking, ham radio and hills combined to make the Golden Packet Test a memorable event.
Collinear 5/8 wave J-Pole vs. Collinear 1/2 wave J-Pole EZNEC Shootout
Another 5/8 J-Pole Design arranged as a Collinear… can it justify the complexity?
NVIS 80m with 160m Full Wave Loop is less than ideal
Big HF loop antennas provide great performance, but they can’t do everything. 160 meter full wave loops won’t work well for NVIS when used at 3.8 MHz.
