Field Antenna for the 40 meters: by: Igor Lavrushov,
UA6HJQ
5 41- 44
Before my QRP- pedition I have searched for an effective field antenna
for 40 meters. I need antenna which can radiate both as vertical as
horizon wave, which does not need antenna tuner and the same time
which could be a resonant antenna. I have found such antenna. This one
is designed by G3XAP. The antenna works well at my mountain QRP-
pedition.
Indoor Helical Antenna for the 20 and 17 meters for K1: by:
Igor Grigorov, VA3ZNW
7 So, my K-1 with 40, 30, 20 and 17 meters bands was successfully 50- 52
assembled and tuned. This one requires an antenna to go to the Air.
Certainly, an antenna is a simple thing if if you live in a private house.
But I live in a multistorey apartment building (made from concrete) with
huge restrictions on installation of antennas. The result of these
restrictions is those, that I can install an antenna only at a window. Good
sign is that in mine apartment the windows are big sized- 150 to 210
centimeters.

Radio Jamming in the Soviet Union, Poland and others East
European Countries: by: By: Rimantas Pleikys
A specially emitted radio interference is classified into radio
communication jamming and radio broadcasting jamming. The first
occasions of jamming of military radio telegraph were recorded back in
the beginning of the 20th century. Germany and Russia were the first to
engage in jamming back then. The jamming signal most frequently
consisted of co-channel characters. It was until the early thirties, when
the first cases of jamming of radio broadcasting were recorded. In the
late 20's Berlin started to jam the programs of Radio Komintern. In 1931
the USSR jammed the Romanian radio, in 1934 Austria jammed the
German radio. The Lithuanian language broadcasts of the Vatican radio
were jammed by the USSR in 1940.

Dear friends, I would like to give to you an interesting and reliable antenna theory. Hours searching in the web
gave me lots theoretical information about antennas. Really, at first I did not know what information to chose for
ANTENTOP. Finally, I stopped on lectures Modern Antennas in Wireless Telecommunications written by Prof.
Natalia K. Nikolova from McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada.
Well, I have read many textbooks on Antennas, both, as in Russian as in English. So, I have the possibility to
compare different textbook, and I think, that the lectures give knowledge in antenna field in great way. Here first
lecture Introduction into Antenna Study is here. Next issues of ANTENTOP will contain some other lectures.
I.G.
My Friends, the above placed Intro was given at ANTENTOP- 01- 2003 to Antennas Lectures.
Now I know, that the Lecture is one of popular topics of ANTENTOP. Every Antenna Lecture
was downloaded more than 1000 times!
Now I want to present to you one more very interesting Lecture - it is a Lecture Linear Wire
Antennas Dipoles and Monopoles. I believe, you cannot find such info anywhere for free!
Very interesting and very useful info for every ham, for every radio- engineer.
