Attic T2FD SWL antenna
I am also an avid listener of other things on the long, medium and shortwave bands

MTM Scientific Shortwave Loop Antenna Kit
Shortwave loop antenna KIT allows you to build a tuned loop antenna for indoor reception of shortwave radio broadcasts over the frequency range of 4 MHz to 15 MHz
Randmon wire antennas
This is probably the oldest SWL antenna design. It is often called a long wire though a true long wire is cut to a specific frequency and is at least one wave length long at that frequency
Random wire antenna for shortwave listening
it would be best to use a 9:1 transformer to match the random wire to the 50 ohm feedline
Receiving loop antenna for 160 meters band
I wanted to explore the possibility of having at least better receive
Monopole Antenna TFM T2FM T3FM
Terminated Folded Monopole Antenna TFM T2FM T3FM The Terminated Folded Monopole (TFM) is a derivation of the TFD, and it is usually implemented as a vertical antenna over an RF ground plane or a radial system

Take off angle of horizontal antenna For horizontal polarization, the electric field will move sideways on a horizontal plane, while for vertical polarization it will oscillate up and down on a vertical plane
Rx antennas 4Square Rx Vertical Array My frequency design of 1.825 MHz a 90 degrees line would be 33,70 metersinstead of the previously calculated 33,27 m
Atu balanced feeder antenna system An ATU has the advantage of bringing the feeder-antenna system to resonance, act as a band pass filter both on receive and transmit and a low SWR
