Beverage
Antenna
The Beverage antenna was developed in the 1920's by American
radio pioneer Harold H. Beverage.
Still today it is one of the best, and most popular, wire
antennas around.
Here we tell you all
about it.

The T2FD antenna
-- Terminated Tilted Folded Dipole
By Guy Atkins
published with permission from author and Proceedings
The terminated, tilted, folded dipole (T2FD) is a little known
antenna that performs excellently. Compact in size it gives great
signal gain, wide frequency coverage, and exceptionally low noise
characteristics.

Slopers -- simple and effective antennas
Mark Connelly: For a simple antenna, a sloper antenna
has a lot going for it. Two opposing-direction slopers fed to
a phasing unit is a time-tested interference-fighting solution
endorsed by a number of the hobby's better known practitioners.

Electrically-Short Dipole Antennas
Mark Connelly: It is surprising how much signal can be
obtained from an electrically short dipole when a correct matching
transformer is used.

A Practical Low Band Antenna
Take some 40 metres of wire, wind half of it on a 2 metre glass
fiber stick, let the rest sloop, and , voilá: You got
yourself a fine low band DX antenna.

Insulated
wires, or not
Well, in short, it doesn't matter. Use what you have, or can
get. The only real draw back with insulated wire is that it
is somewhat heavier per unit length. --
