Here a list of Antennas I have realized and tested for outdoor activity.
Some of them are really good, as the Rybacov Antenna, which is actually my favourite becasue it is the perfect compromise between efficiency and portability. All these antenna are perfectly working, the common point it is the high portability and the quickly installation, two factors sometime really important for DX PEDITION or VACATION. Other Antenna are more efficient as the Monoband…. see here below.
| ANTENNA TYPE | GOOD POINT | BAD POINT |
| Rybacov | 1) All Band 2) Few space needes 3) Good for high power | 1) Not enough for Over Ocean 2) Not the best efficiency |
| Mono Band Antenna | 1) Best efficient 2) No coil, no traps, nothing can be broken 3) Good for high power | 1) Just one band 2) 4 Radials necessary |
| 12 meter high Vertical 40/80mt with coil | 1) 100% Efficient for 40meter 2) No traps | 1) A lot of radial needed 2) Compromise on 80 meters |
| TTD Multiband 10-15-20mt | 1) Band for Contest or DX | 1) Many radials needed |
| Endfed 10-40mt | 1) Very small for transport | 1) Space needed to set properly |
| Plastic Magnetic Loop | 1) Very Efficient 2) Inespensive | 1) High Voltage !! Dangerous if not properly installed 2) Just one band 3) Just 40khz wide band 4) No high power 5) Not easy for transport |
