This site is a
sole introduction of basic antenna information used in the frequency bands of 3 to 30
Megahertz.
Such radio receivers can receive worldwide
signals from around the world, including utility signals, and ham radio signals with a
variety of modes which can be received by anyone with a computer. One is intercepting
"slow scan televsion" when they are sending pictures to each other - no wires,
no internet.
These receivers can be had new from digital
portables, expensive desktops, used analog radios, or good used transistor or tube sets
all over the place from myriad sources.
However, no receiver will be worth its
weight in money and satisfaction without a decent antenna to capture as much signal
strength with moderate resonance.
This site will consist of the basics for the
simplest and most ubiguitous antenna of all time, the dipole. It can be made as cheap as
one can right down to using "lamp cord".
