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...

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...

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...

Converting 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 or under an arch.....
