The Best Amateur Radio Links of 2022

A list of best new amateur radio links we reviewed in 2022

• Magnetic Monster Loop Antenna for 160m

A monster magnetic loop antenna for 160 meters band. This Magnetic loop is optimized for 1840 Khz + 50 Khz. PDF Article published on La Radiospecola 10.22 (by I5JVA)

• A simple Attic Antenna for HF bands

This simple antenna was installed on the attic. Antenna was matched with help an Automatic ATU in 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12 and 10 meter amateur Bands. The Antenna worked satisfactory on the above mentioned bands. (by Eugene Viktorovich)

• Interactive Worldwide Map of Amateur Radio and more

The first interactive map of amateur radio repeaters and more updated in REAL TIME. (by IU1FIG)

• ICOM IC 7300 mods

Modifications for the ICOM IC 7300 transceiver, MARS mod, antenna tuner coverage expansion, Mic Modification (by brucerichards)

• Coaxial Dipole Antenna

A distributed capacity coaxial dipole antenna. The antenna is very broadbanded with a very flat swr on all band when setup of the antenna is done at the proper lenght and height. (by AA8GL)

• 140W Dummy Load

An homemade 50 Ohm 140 W dummy load based on an idea and project by ON5DB Renaud. (by ON4EA)

• Cobweb Antenna

A home made cobweb antenna project made with easy to find parts 2-14 AWG speaker cables which are cut to 1/2 wavelength for each band and junction box with 4:1 Balun (by W6AER)

• How to install a Mini Whip antenna

Notes on how to properly install a Mini Whip receiving antenna in an noisy urban environment. (by GreyHat)

• The Story of the Broadband Dipole

A dipole can be broadbanded by a number of techniques including by matching with resonant sections of transmission feed lines. (by W6NL)

• Digital SWR and Power Meter

This module is an analogue and digital SWR and power meter/monitor, designed to replace analogue SWR and power metering in an AM Transmitter project. (by VK3HN)

• T2FD Antenna - Terminated and twisted folded dipole

T2FD is a 600-900 ohms folded dipole, terminated with resistor. Feed impedance is coupled with 50/600 ohms voltage balun. It is a wide band antenna with rather low SWR over the full designed frequency range: antenna tuner is seldom needed. (by OH1AYR)

• The W5JGV Loop Antenna

A Shielded Low Frequency Loop Antenna, allows Simultaneous Transmission and Reception at the Same Site. (by W5JGV)

• W3DZZ Multiband Antenna

An easy to build and extremely high performance antenna, works perfectly on all HF bands 3.5-28 MHz with some compromises, it is basically an half wave dipole for 40-80 meters, an LC circuit or trap 40 meters allows you to use a single radiating element. (by I6IBE)

• Build this Vertical Portable HF Antenna

An experimental prototype of an asymmetrical hatted vertical dipole antenna that can work on HF bands 20 to 10 meters band. The AHVD Vertical dipole is an upside-down T design (by KX4O)

• Coax Attenuation Chart

Tables with attenuation in DB per 100 feet of several coaxial cables. (by w4rp)

• 20m 30m 40m Bandpass Filters

Homemade LC Bandpass Filters for 20M, 30M, 40M In multi-station environments like special events, field day, portable operating, is very important to protect receivers from excessively strong signals. Bandpass filters help to protect your transceivers. (by AB2EW)

• A cheap VHF UHF Yagi

Elements are aluminum TIG soldering rods 4.0mm of diameter, almost 1m long, these objects are light, thin and flexible based on the RZ9CJ Design (by US7IGN)

• Controlled Antenna Switch

A four position HF antenna switch with PC control (by NutsVolts)

• Moebius style 80/40 m band antenna
