Simple Ham Radio Antennas

An All Band Loop Antenna (http://www.eham.net/articles/36087). Accessed on 17 April 2016, 05:37 hrs, UTC. Author:  Howard Walker (KI4VEO). If you have a large lot and want to experiment with the properties of loop antennas, then this article from Howard Walker (KI4VEO) may be what you need. Since Howard was blessed with several tall trees on his 4-acre property, he decided to string up a full wave loop antenna covering the amateur radio bands between 160 meters and 10 meters.  Howard ended up with a 570-foot/173.78 meters wire loop antenna that brings in plenty of DX during his time on the air. In this article published on eham.net, Howard discusses the construction techniques and the equipment needed to erect this large loop antenna. I've used full wave loop antennas in the past, albeit not as large as Howard's project.  My current 40 meter delta loop is fed with 450 ohm ladder line into an antenna transmatch (i.e. "tuner").  This modest antenna does an excell...
