This week, we’ve pulled together a few items that touch on some perennial topics for the active amateur. There's a solid primer on antenna fundamentals, something that always bears revisiting, especially when troubleshooting a new portable setup or optimizing a home station. We also look at a couple of interesting software solutions, one for weak signal modes that runs right in your browser, and another that aims to be an all-in-one station control. For those operating in urban environments, we’ve included a piece on low-band receiving antennas, which can make a significant difference in pulling out those faint signals. And [...]

This week, we’ve pulled together a few items that touch on practical antenna builds and some of the perennial challenges in our hobby. There’s a good look at VHF/UHF Yagi construction, specifically the isolated element method, which can be quite useful for those looking to roll their own directional arrays for local work or satellite passes. We also have a portable 6-meter quad design that might just be the ticket for your next Field Day or VHF contest outing. For the HF crowd, there's a neat take on a 2-band Zeppelin dipole, something that comes up often when space is [...]

This week, we've gathered some interesting material for those of you exploring beyond the usual HF fare. There's a good piece on current satellite operations, covering both LEO and GEO birds, which is always something worth revisiting as the constellations evolve. For the portable ops crowd, we’ve got a practical guide to POTA antennas, focusing on field-friendly designs. And if you're looking to get on 10 meters with a minimal footprint, there's a neat build for a vertical antenna using common hardware store parts. Plus, a rigid 6-meter Moxon construction that won't break the bank, and a look at a [...]
