Just for a curiosity, I thought of checking the capacitance of my antennas with feedline. First I checked the 40/20/10m fan dipole. That antenna has been mounted as

Well, I had not heard of a Loop Yagi till today morning, when I saw a picture on X, posted by N2MAK. That was in preparation for January

This is my new multi-band fan dipole antenna with elements for 40, 20 and 10m, which will also work on 15m. Hence you can call it as a

Brought down my CP22E antenna which had developed an angle between the two collinear 5/8 lambda elements beyond the phasing coil. Main purpose was to see if I

I have been using a 40/10m inverted V dipole antenna for several months now. Earlier I used to get good performance on both bands. Now I am not

I had brought down the height of my CP22E VHF antenna from 6m long galvanized iron pipe on first floor terrace to a 3m long CPVC pipe during

I have been trying to get my homebrew 80/20m loaded coil dipole antenna for restricted spaces resonate on 80m for quite some time. Little bit of collateral successes

Automatic gain control is meant for controlling wide fluctuations in audio levels while listening to stations with widely varying signal strengths, as is common in amateur radio. Here

You can get a glimpse of my 80/20m loaded coil inverted V dipole antenna under construction here. The green central part is a piece of PVC pipe covered

Here is an update on the progress with 80/20m loaded coil dipole antenna. Brought down the antenna and measured both sides in order to correct any inequality which
