Difference between revisions of "Build Several Easy Antennas for Amateur Radio"

Amateur Radio has been a supreme way of communications for many ways of getting messages from one place to another for decades!  Many antennas have been invented simply by necessity.  Spark Gap Transmitters were used around the time of the great disaster of the Titanic.  Wireless is what they called it back then, and still to this day, wire antennas are sending signals out on the airways.  Amateur radio has progressed, and continually changed since the spark gap transmitters of that time.

High voltage coils were used for their power, and it systematically sent out the familiar "dits" and "dahs" of Morse Code, and the party or parties, at the other end who could read Morse Code wrote the symbols down, and they made words.  A fantastic, and fascinating way of communication, and yet, it was primitive enough to look back on from this date, and say that was one fantastic communications tool.

#Emphasis on the Antenna! The heart of the system of Amateur Radio is the antenna.  There are many other misinformed persons stating that power is the ultimate force.  Not So !  The heart of any radio station, be it Amateur Radio, Commercial, Business, CB, Personal Family Radio, or experimenters in extremely low power amateur radio  ( QRP as it is called ) transmissions IS the antenna! Without good reception, you won't hear much.  Without good antennas for transmitting, you won't transmit far, even if you apply high output RF power, or if high output watts are used !
