A modified Hairpin antenna for a wider bandwidth an mounted on a grounded metalic mast
Designing your own QSL card is now easier than ever. This is a Program that helps you design and then Print your QSL cards filling them automatically with QSO data.
The collinear J-Pole, often known as the Super-J, does improve the behavior over a regular J-Pole. there is an advantage when vertically combining 1/2 radiating sections to have a bit of separation between the half-wave end points. Get 0.8 dB more gain out of the trusty Super-J by replacing the traditional phasing stub with a long coil.

Dipole for 40m band. It is a simple linear loaded dipole feeded with 450-Ohm openwire feedline. Designed it for resonance at 7.050 MHz, can be tuned on 30m and 80m bands with an external antenna tuner. Build with simple electrical copper wire (2.5 mmq/13 awg) and two fishing poles with size of about 7 m/23 ft.
This coaxial collinear antenna was built to test for my own consumption whether or not this antenna method actually works. the guiding principle is that we have multiple 1/4 wave elements fed in series , the radiation from each adds in phase to produce a large vertically polarised omni-directional antenna with substantial gain
This is an short dipole for 7 MHz. Total length of this dipole is just 10 meters, 33 feet. Missing lenght is balanced by a coil made of 49 turns of a 40mm diameter pvc pipe. The use of a choke balun is recommended, as always, to adapt the unbalanced coax cable to the balanced antenna, and to prevent RF feed back along the coax shield.
