Linear Array Theory- Part II : by: Prof.
Natalia K. Nikolov
Dear friends, I would like to
give to you an interesting and reliable antenna theory. Hours
searching in the web gave me lots theoretical information about
antennas. Really, at first I did not know what information chose
for ANTENTOP.
Now I want to present to you one
more very interesting Lecture - it is LECTURE 16: Linear Array
Theory- Part II
Hansen-Woodyard
end-fire array, directivity of a linear array, linear array pattern
characteristics- recapitulation; 3-D characteristics of an N-element
linear array...

44 Feet Dipole. Where is the
Truth?: by: Arnie Coro, CO2KK, CUBA
After more than half a century
working with professional and amateur radio antenna systems... All
I can say this is a never ending subject!! The 44 feet long dipole,
22 feet on each leg came out of the work of the prematurely deceased
Len Cebik W4RNL...

Ok Gang in case you
don't remember me....I am the guy who ran a couple of "Forks"
as a dipole awhile back and actually worked W1AW/5 Oklahoma running
5 watts SSB from my trusty Yaesu FT-817....Well
I have a new one for you and help will be appreciated to reach
my goal!... .

Antenna
UA6AGW in Experimenters by RU1OZ : by: Nikolay Chabanov,
RU10Z
In my native city Archangelsk my house is located very
close to the Power Transmission Line. High noise from the line forced
me to use Magnetic Loop Antennas. The antennas could work very effective
and may eliminate the electrical noise. I can make QSOs with EU
and JA (at 10- 18- MHz) using only 4-watts with the Magnetic Loop
Antenna. But... Magnetic Loop Antenna has some disadvantages for
me...

Compact Twin Delta
Antenna for the 80- and 40- meter Bands: by: John J. Schultz,
W2EEY/7
The antenna has wide broadband
at the 80- and 40- meter Bands. So the antenna does not require
any tuning. Antenna is simple in design and takes lots room for
installation. Antenna radiates a vertical polarisation wave with
almost circle DD in horizontal plane. Antenna is not critical
to the sizes. It could be got good result at perimeter of each
triangle lambda/4 at lower band at the antenna....

UB5UG Snake Antenna : by: Yuri
Medinets, UB5UG
Note from I.G.: The Snake Antenna was very popular in the ex-USSR. The
antenna came to ham from a page of paper with hand writer schematic.
The schematic was introduced by Yuri, UB5UG. At first, the antenna
was widely used at Ukraine then it came to other republics of
the ex-USSR. It was a very simple antenna that very easy could
be made from a coaxial cable. The antenna could be very easy redesign
for other (as well for TV) bands. ....

Regenerative
Transceiver for 160- meter Band: by: Georgiy Gorelashvili , 4L1G
There is experimental AM transceiver
that may be used at local communication. Practically any pentode
would work at the circuit. Frequency of the transmitter is not
stable because antenna is switched on directly to the oscillator's
inductor. Regime of the regenerative receiver could not be optimal
because of high coupling of the antenna with receiver's inductor.
However, at small antenna length - in 2- 5 meter and small distances
the transceiver is quite well for experimental work...

The ATU was made by me in far 80s. It was may be
a simplest ATU what I made ever. It contains only one rotary switch
and rolls of a coaxial cable. But the ATU works very well. The ATU
has only one lack- sizes. Sizes of the ATU are not small. Below
there are several words to the theoretical base of the ATU...

Antenna Tuner MFJ-962D for Operation with Symmetrical Ladder Line:
By: Viktor Drobot, RK3DL
For operation in the
Air at all HF- Bands I use to antenna Delta. The antenna is fed
by 300- Ohm Ladder Line. To match the antenna with my transceiver
I use to ATU MFJ-962D. The ATU has symmetrical transformer at
output. The transformer could provide good symmetrical operation...
but with antennas that has low reactance. My Delta has significant
reactance through amateur's bands. So the concept is not for me....

Bridge
Effect: by: Igor Grigorov, va3znw
Every day when I drive my car to and from my job I drive
under bridges and arches.
Inside my car I usually listen to radio. My favorite radio
is 680 News Radio. The radio station works on 680- kHz. This radio
transmits useful news for me. It's the weather, what is and what
will be news in Toronto and the World, as well as local traffic,
which road is open, what the road is closed due to an accident construction.
Knowledge of the traffic saves me a lot of time. I noticed that
volume of the 680-News usually is changed when I drove under a bridge
