Been a new ham, I build all kind of antennas; in a process of doing this I accumulated long list of internet references I am sharing below. I will be updating it, deleting old/outdated/not important references and adding new. Due to my present QTH the main focus is compact/limited space antennas, but the list is not strictly limited to this subject. It is a bit chaotic as it originates from the text file I have been dumping my findings to for many month, but proven to be useful, so here it is:

TOPICS

• DIPOLES AND DOUBLETS
• LOOPS
  • Magnetic loops
• YAGIS
  • Moxons
  • Portable hexbeams
• ZEPPS AND J-POLES
  • J-pole and horizontal Zepp
  • OCF Colinear for 80m (Rus)
• VERTICALS
  • Half-square and bobtails
• ON WIRE ANTENNAS
• ON ANTENNA TRAPS
• TOOLS, TIPS AND STUFF
  • DIY VHF/UHF antennas
  • DIY Band Pass Filters
