Spurred on by my Tri-Link antenna design and the tuned, elevated ground radial concept, I thought about a 40M NVIS version. I had been thinking about this for while and when got to looking at the o...

“It’s a great antenna!” “That won’t work!” “That’s wrong!” “I make all these contacts!” “I’m really getting out there!” “If it works, it works!” We’ve all heard these things and said these things....

I decided to make a Vertical Tri-Band antenna using my snazzy antenna links. This vertical has two raised & tuned ground radials. It’s basically a ripoff of the KJ6ER POTA PERformer antenna but...

I came across an even better approach to One Time Pad Encryption: Diana. This system uses letters instead of numbers and makes use of a “speed square” to do the encrypting. You can check out the f...

My Antenna Link design was well received in the Ham Radio community so I thought it was time to put the design into practice in the real world with a linked EFHW antenna. The one I had in mind is w...

I’ve been a big fan of Gaston, KT7RUN The Tech Prepper forever. I’ve always thought his focus on digital modes was very cool and extremely useful from the preparedness mindset. In some of his lates...

Just a reminder about the proper orientation of Anderson Power Poles. Red Right, Tip Top The Letter “A” is oriented correctly. 73 de VE5REV

Linked dipoles and EFHW antennas are a really great way to have efficient, resonant, portable antennas that are multi-banded. I’ve never come across a linking method that I really liked. I’ve had b...

I really love loop antennas. In my Delta Loop posts, 1 and 2, I was working with a vertically oriented 20M loop. I found that a 2:1 hybrid balun was a better match than the 4:1 for using it as a mo...

I have always had an interest in Cryptography, ever since reading Simon Singh’s The Code Book. Truly, it is a fascinating area of study and very necessary for secure communications, should the need...
