Radio & Antennas


On this page I put some of the Radio and Antennas related information that I gathered through the years of experiments.

Antennas: 

I do have experience, build and used following types of antennas:

  • Yagis - Force12 C3, 2 el-40m 
  • Dipoles
  • Deltas: Both lazy loop and vertical polarized for 80m and 40m
  • Phased verticals: Three full size 40m verticals phased wiht a use of coax and switchable in three directions by use of a ralay : Worked really good, but it needed some space.
  • Phased slopers: 40m slopers, phased by a coax, manually switachable by removing the coxes

I have modified, build and used following radios:

  • Drake TR7 - maintained, repaired, modified.
  • Tentec Omni VI+ - Reduced the synthesis noise (digital noise birds): more information on TenTec Mod page
  • K2 - 100w from Elecraft  - Built and adjusted. One of the best RX I have ever been using
  • ACOM 1000 Power amplifier - Modification for Arc problem:  more information on ACOM-1000 Mod page
