               PLANAR ARRAYS, CIRCULAR ARRAYS 
              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 18: PLANAR ARRAYS, CIRCULAR ARRAYS. Planar arrays 
                are more versatile; they provide more symmetrical patterns with 
                lower side lobes, much higher directivity (narrow main beam). 
                They can be used to scan the main beam toward any point in space...

               RX3MS Helical Antennas 
              Vladimir Turkin, RX3MS 
               
                
              Below there are described three Helical Antennas. 
                All of the antennas were made and tested by RX3MS. The antennas 
                later were repeated at several amateur's stations and the antennas 
                showed good efficiency...

               Modified Beverage 
                Antenna

              I took the decision. 
                At last! I took the decision to participate in CQ- WW- 160- Meter 
                Contest. My setup for the Contest was IC- 718 and Beverage Antenna 
                described at Antentop- 01, 2015. The 
                antenna had termination resistor 450- Ohm/25-Wtt. It allowed me 
                run the IC-718 on 50-Wtt without damage to Beverage's termination 
                load. So I decided participate in the Contest as a Low Power (up 
                to 150-Wtt) Single Operator...

              Eugene Viktorovich  
                
              The antenna was installed in the 
                attic. Antenna was matched with help an Automatic ATU in 40-, 
                30-, 20-, 17-, 15-, 12 and 10 meter amateur Bands. The Antenna 
                worked satisfactory on the above mentioned bands........

               Simple 
                Magnetic Loop Antenna for a Journey 
              Alexander Eryomin, R2DHF 
                
              The Magnetic Loop Antenna is designed 
                especially for working from journey. The Antenna is ready for 
                operation from disassembled to assembled condition in several 
                minutes. Antenna contains cheap or not hard to find stuff. I spend 
                less $ 50.0 for kit for the antenna. ......

              My Beverage Antenna (that was described 
                at: http://www.antentop.org/019/va3znw_019.htm. The antenna was successfully tested at CQ WW 160- Meter Contest (CW), 
                CQ WPX (2016, CW) and ARRL International CW Contest (2016). I 
                worked there with my IC- 718 using only 50... 90- Wt.

              UA6AGW Antenna V. 20-10.51 can work in frequency 
                range from 14.0 to 29.5 MHz that is covered 20. 17, 15, 12 and 
                10- meter amateur Bands. This is provided by tuning the antenna 
                in resonance to the used band with help of a remote- control variable 
                capacitor installed at the antenna. UA6AGW Antenna V. 20-10.51 
                is designed for easy and quick installation in the field....

              Below described three elements 
                YAGI for the 20- meter Band. Model of the YAGI was simulated by 
                UR0GT. The antenna has very high gain- almost 14.4- dB at central 
                frequency 14.15- MHz. Antenna covers all 20- meter band with SWR 2.5: 1.0 
                at the edges...

              Below described Compact Antenna for 160- meter Band for the DX- Window. 
                Model of the antenna made by UR0GT. Antenna has "compact" 
                sizes related to the 160- meter band. However with the dimensions 
                the antenna has good parameters at the DX- Window at the 160- 
                meter Band.....

                was simulated by UR0GT for DE7RAO, for his defined conditions 
                of possibility for antenna placement. However the antenna design 
                should be interesting for those amateur who has tied conditions 
                for antenna installation or for amateurs who participated in field 
                day. ....

                Vertical Antenna for the 6- and 2- meter Band

                RW4HFN  
                
              Below described 
                simple dual band vertical antenna for the 6- and 2- meter Band. 
                Model of the antenna was simulated by RW4HFN. Antenna may be made 
                from a rigid copper/aluminum wire. Antenna does not require any 
                tuning elements. Antenna made according to the description already 
                should work at the two bands....

              Article about Black Holes in the Air was published in Antentop Magazine http://www.antentop.org/black_holes.htm. 
                As I mentioned there I did not observe Black Holes in the Air. 
                At those times I say no. Time lasts... It happened in March- 2013

              It is very simple DC receiver contains only two tubes. No one semiconductor 
                there is here. This receiver made by me on the base of Kazuhiro

              The 
                receiver was made on the base of my experimenters with simple 
                DC receiver described at previous article (Simple Two Tube Direct 
                Conversation Receiver) and on the base of the receiver Kazuhiro 
                Sunamurà. There were used very 
                old tubes however the receiver worked well with those ones. ....

              The very simple regenerative receiver was 
                made for 40- meter ham band. The receiver worked very stable. 
                You did not need tune the R10 (Regeneration) through the band 
                once it is already adjusted. The receiver was compared with two 
                commercial ones- TECSUN PL600 and DEGEN- 1103. My regenerative 
                receiver worked much better on the 40- meter band....

              Recently there 
                are lots devices that contained some RF sensitive or vice versa 
                RF generation parts inside. It is power AC/DC converters (aka 
                power supply), Computers, Computer Monitors, et cetera. Most common 
                way to radiate unwanted interferences or receipt unwanted interferences 
                is cables going apart those above mention parts....
