Stacked Dipoles
Antennas are always a hot topic on 6 meters because there is more antenna experimenting that goes on on this band than any other. The antenna size is manageable and many things that can be done on 6 meters are impossible (or highly difficult) to do on HF. Today’s topic is stacked dipole arrays. We’ll…
Building A Full-Wave Quad Loop Antenna for 6 Meters
This is an easy antenna to build and the materials cost about $15-20. It exhibits 1.8dB gain over a 1/2-wave dipole. Using an open-wire parallel feedline (commonly called “ladder line”) with an antenna tuner, it tunes up on the 10m band as a 5/8-wave loop as well. The loop is also much quieter than a…
