Post date April 15, 2023

This is quite interesting. Let’s compare small quarter waves right up to 1-3/4 wave antennas including the famous 5/8. Why are large verticals sometimes not as good. And why they are sometimes better? You might like this. Callum.

QRP Special: Tom walked around the Isle of Arran last year, camping each night with his IC-705 and DX Commander Expedition antenna. A most incredible QRP /P experience. Around 70 miles in 7 days. MUST WATCH.

All footage and pictures downloaded from his channel and blog (with permission) with added QSO footage from my end – I recorded each of our contacts every day from the factory at DX Commander HQ.

Cheap SWL Antennas – Listening to Shortwave Radio With Scrap Wire

Post author By admin
Post date April 2, 2023

Shortwave listening is alive and well. From decoding digital tones, listening to broadcast stations or amateur transmissions – all can be a lot of fun. I have made a number of different dedicated receive antennas but these are the very simple versions I recommend that cost very littloe (even free with scrap wire) and can be built from scrap.
