Louis Varney (G5RV) invented this antenna in 1946. [4] It is very popular in the United States. [5] The antenna can be erected as horizontal dipole, as sloper, or an inverted-V antenna. With a transmatch, (antenna tuner) it can operate on all HF amateur radio bands (3.5–30 MHz). [5] [6]
Homebrew is an amateur radio slang term for home-built, noncommercial radio equipment. [1] Design and construction of equipment from first principles is valued by amateur radio hobbyists, known as "hams", for educational value, and to allow experimentation and development of techniques or levels of performance not readily available as commercial products.

A quad antenna is a type of directional wire radio antenna used on the HF and VHF bands. A quad is a Yagi–Uda antenna ("Yagi") made from loop elements instead of dipoles: It consists of a driven element and one or more parasitic elements ; however in a quad, each of the loop elements may be square, round, or some other shape.
Enthusiasts operate QRP radios on the HF bands in portable modes, usually carrying the radios in backpacks, with whip antennas. Some QRPers prefer to construct their equipment from kits, published plans, [15] or homebrew it from scratch. Many popular designs are based on the NE612 mixer IC, i.e. the K1, K2, ATS series and the Softrock SDR.
An amateur radio station incorporating two HF transceivers. A typical Yagi antenna used by a Canadian radio amateur for long distance communication Boeing 707 used a HF antenna mounted on top of the tail fin [8] The main uses of the high frequency spectrum are: Military and governmental communication systems; Aviation air-to-ground communications
Moxon antenna for the 20-meter band.The antenna is the faint rectangle of wires held in tension by the bent X-shaped support frame. Moxon antenna for the 2-meter band. The Moxon antenna or Moxon rectangle is a simple and mechanically rugged two-element parasitic array, single-frequency antenna. [1]
