MEET YOUR ANTENNA
Wire Antennas
Wire antennas are the backbone of HF communications. Simple, reliable, and easy to deploy, they excel in fixed, portable, and emergency operations. This category includes dipoles, EFHWs, OCFDs, G5RVs, doublets, loops, and other wire‑based designs used across amateur radio.
Directional Antennas
Directional antennas focus RF energy for increased gain, improved signal‑to‑noise ratio, and long‑distance performance. This category includes Yagis, hexbeams, Moxons, log‑periodics, quads, and other beam‑type antennas used for contesting, DXing, and mission‑critical communications.
Vertical Antennas
Vertical antennas provide low‑angle, omnidirectional radiation ideal for DX and limited‑space deployments. This category includes quarter‑wave and half‑wave verticals, trapped multiband verticals, mobile whips, and ground‑mounted or elevated radial systems.
Loop Antennas
Loop antennas form a closed loop of wire or tubing and offer unique noise characteristics and radiation patterns. This category includes full‑wave loops, delta loops, magnetic loops, quad loops, and other loop‑based designs used in both HF and VHF/UHF applications.
NVIS Antennas
Loop Antennas
Mobile & Portable Antennas
Mobile and portable antennas are designed for rapid deployment, vehicle operation, or lightweight field use. This category includes hamstick dipoles, vehicle whips, backpack verticals, portable loaded whips, and compact QRP antennas used for on‑the‑move or temporary operations.
