435MHz 12 turn Helix Antenna
This 50 ohm impedance antenna, when powered with 25-100W of RF in SSB, joins the Molniya orbiting satellites as AO-40 and AO-10
A Helix antenna for 2 metre satellite
The main boom is 25 mm. sq. galvanized steel tube with a 1.6 mm. wall thickness, and 5m. long. This is for a 10 turn helix, and allowing approx 400mm
A Home made Helical antenna for a GPS
In the practical construction of a half-turn quadrifilar helix it is especially important to respect the exact lengths of the helical wires
A quadrifilar helix weather satellite receiving antenna
How to make a quadrifilar helix QFH antenna easily from inexpensive materials PVC plumbing pipe and RG-58U co-axial

Linear loaded short dipole 21Mhz For my amateur radio activities on the HF bands I only have a 3.6 m wide balcony available for antennas. After some study I decided to experiment with a shortened dipole for the 15 m band
