Here are a few Ewe, Flag, and Pennant questions for antenna-modelling program experts. (1) Ken Alexander did some Pennant optimizations for medium-wave (AM broadcast) use. He came up with a vertical-
One of the least sensitive loops I've ever used. Mark Connelly, WA1ION original message: Topband: Palomar Loop Antenna I was wondering if anyone has tried the Palomar Amplified Loop Antenna on the lo
I've done a series of comparative tests on the popular Kiwa and Quantum loops used mostly by medium-wave (500-1800 kHz) DXers and occasionally by 160-m hams. The article entitled "Loop Shoot-Out at E
Phasing Improves Kaz Antenna Nulls (Mark Connelly, WA1ION - 10 JUL 2001) The "Kaz" antenna was introduced by John Bryant's article "Testing Two 'Kaz' Squashed Delta Antennas" (reference 1). Further t

New Antenna Article on Web I have done some tests comparing a Pennant antenna and a "Kaz" antenna. An article on this latest round of research has been posted at the following URL: "http://members.ao
Greetings to all. I have web-posted John Bryant's excellent write-up of the "Kaz antenna" which was developed by renowned medium wave DXer Neil Kazaross. It is a "squashed delta" variant of the K6SE
The best source is the free European Medium Wave Guide, a PDF document downloadable from the following page: "http://go.to/emwg". Herman Boel in Belgium publishes this excellent guide. If there's a d

I have a new article about a three loop antenna array which provides an electrically-rotatable cardioid pick-up pattern as well as partially rotatable figure-of-8 patterns. Links to the article in PD
I have used the Byan remote Beverage termination scheme on at least two AM broadcast-band listening DXpeditions to Cappahayden, Newfoundland. The site is about 100 km / 60 miles south of the major ci
Dave (W0FLS) said "I have experimented with changes in termination values and have never found it to be a very critical issue based on actual measured empirical performance." The difference between m
I have just posted on-line documentation for two compact easy-to-build antenna phasing units, DXP-2 and DXP-3. These are designed for simple operation on DXpeditions. Go to my RF Circuits page at htt
Long-haul DX receptions on low and medium frequencies are possible even in the heart of the summer season. Read one DXer's accounts of stations heard on road trips along the coast of Massachusetts in

I've put together a Web page with text of some recent e-mail discussions of phased antenna arrays. Much of the discussion revolves around medium wave (500-2000 kHz) but may be applicable to longwave
A number of European and other Trans-Atlantic medium wave broadcast stations are often heard in the eastern US and Canada, particularly at seacoast locations around local sunset. Stations above 1100
