               Linear Array Theory- Part III : by: Prof. 
                Natalia K. Nikolova 
              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 17: Linear Array 
                Theory- Part III : N-element linear array 
                with uniform spacing and non-uniform amplitude: binomial array; 
                Dolph-Tschebyscheff array; directivity 
                and design considerations...

               L-Vertical 
                Antenna for Nearest Objects for The 40- and 20- meter Bands: By: 
                Nikolay Kudryavchenko, UR0GT 
              One L-Vertical Antenna may works 
                at the two amateur Bands- 40- and 20- meters. The main feature 
                of the antenna is that it may be located at nearest conductive 
                objects- for example the antenna may be placed near water drain. 
                Antenna may be placed at a wall of a house. Inside a house there 
                are always a lot of conductive objects- for example electrical 
                main, refrigerator, metal tubes of house ventilation system and 
                so on.......

                Beverage Antenna: by: Igor Grigorov,

              Beverage Antennas are widely used at commercial 
                and military radio communication. In commercial communication 
                Beverage Antenna as usual is used as a receiving antenna. However, 
                in military communication Beverage Antenna is used for both purposes- 
                for receiving and transmitting applications. Transmitting/receiving 
                Beverage Antenna was used in DX- Pedition 
                EK1NWB on to Kizhy island where the 
                antenna (against skepticism of some persons) illuminated its good 
                job. So when again in Toronto I have changed my QTH and the QTH 
                allowed me install Beverage Antenna, I did not hesitated...

                UR0GT  
              Windom is one of 
                the oldest and reliable antennas that used in ham radio. There 
                are lots modifications of Windom Antenna (or in other words Off 
                Center Dipole Antenna). One of such modification was optimized 
                by UR0GT. The antenna was optimized for 40, 20 and 10- meter bands.

                Sergey Tetuyhin, R3PIN. Sergey would 
                like create an UA6AGW Antenna for 2- meter Band. He did not have 
                schematic of the antenna for 2- meter Band. He made two antennas 
                that he believed would work at the 2- meter Band. However his 
                attempt was not successful. But Sergey during the experimenters 
                found some unusual sides at UA6AGW Antenna. .......

               Dipole Antenna

              Because I have no lots space at my backyard for antenna installation 
                I like do experiments with shortened antennas. Below described 
                one of my experimental shortened dipole antenna 
                for 40- and 20- meter Bands. It takes for me only 1 and half hour 
                for installation and tuning of the antenna. After that the dipole 
                antenna was tested at CQ WW Contest (2015). I made 300 QSOs using 
                100- Wtts going into the antenna....

                is working at the 20- meter Band is very simple. Parts of the 
                antenna- there are long wire (5.6-meter length) before inductor, 
                inductor and short wire (1.5- meter length) after inductor - make 
                1.5- lambda dipole at the 20- meter Band...

              Antenna for 80-, 40-, and 15- 
                meter Bands: By: Vladas Zhalnerauskas, UP2NV 
              W3DZZ Antenna is widely used among radio amateurs. 
                The antenna shows the efficiency at several bands (as usual from 
                3 to 5) at minimal stuff to do it. The described below antenna 
                is a modification of the W3DZZ Antenna. The antenna could work 
                at 80- 40- and 15- meter Bands. ....

              The antenna was 
                designed several years ago, when I got Estonian call sign ES4UY. 
                With the call I able use 50 and 70- MHz bands from Estonia. Need 
                to say that I was in a very rare square- K049CJ. So I need an 
                antenna for those bands. Restricted place could not allow me to 
                create something serious. ....

              Prototype of the tuner was made by VK5RG. The tuner was found by me at 
                "Das DARC Antennenbuch". However 
                at the book there was given only brief description of the unit. 
                The tuner takes my attention and by trial-and-error method I found 
                the design (data for Inductors and Capacitors) of the tuner. ....

                for distance receiving TV broadcasting stations. Below it is described 
                one of those antennas- it is a Rhombic Antenna. Rhombic Antenna

                used a Coaxial Antenna Switch Protax 
                CSR- 5G to change devices switched to my antenna. The switch is 
                very convenient for amateur operation in the Air. I can easy switch 
                antenna from one transceiver (ICOM- 718) to another one (K1) or 
                turn antenna to general coverage receiver (Hallicrafters 
                S-85). I use the receiver to check propagation in the Air and 
                just to catch some interesting HF- stations....

                Receiver is a classical design of the Tube Era. Somebody gave 
                me magazine with the article at the 70s. I did the receiver and 
                got very good result. I have received lots of amateur stations 
                with the receiver. Then the receiver was remade by me in general 
                coverage HF- Receiver. I could receive with great quality forbidden 
                BBC, Voice of America lots broadcasting stations and easy found 
                at those times "Numbers Stations."

               Broadband 
                Transformer 50/200 Ohm: By: Sergey Popov, RZ9CJ, Ekaterinburg, 
                Russia  
                
              Below I describe a simple way to make broadband 
                transformer 50/200 Ohm with isolated windings. (Theoretically 
                the transformer is for 50/140- Ohm. However it works fine for 
                most common using 50/200 Ohm.)........

               Two 
                Broadband Symmetrical Transformers for HF and VHF Bands: By: Alex 
                Karakaptan, UY5ON, ES4UY, Kharkov, Ukraine 
                
              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....

              Almost 
                everyone has at home a Microwave Oven. It is possible make some 
                experimenters with it. Most interesting and visual experiment 
                is Experiment with Bulbs. We may find how microwaves effect to 
                incandescent (filament) and CFL bulbs......
