From this page, you can hop around to a number of variations on "classic" antenna's
Important notes.
In many of these aerials there are capacitors used to electrically change the element lengths. In every case it is strongly advised that the capacitors have a leakage resistor of 1.5 or 2.2 M ohm in parallel with them. e.g.
NEW - have a look at the G1RV HF & 50 Mhz antenna
G4RV. This antenna is resonant on 80, 40, 20 and 10 metres and can still be used on other bands with an ATU.
G6RV This antenna is resonant on 80, 20, 15 and 10 M without an ATU but can still be used on the other bands. It will work as a top (capacity) loaded vertical on 160 and 40 metres.
G7RV A wire antenna for 160 metres right through to 2metres in one simple antenna.
G8RV which is resonant on 28.6, 21 and 1.8 Mhz without an ATU.
Kentalina W3DZZ MkII G3YXM Topbander All band Doublet
With a slight Tweak the Carolina Windom becomes the Kentalina
How about a MkII W3DZZ
Get on 160 with just 50 feet of wire (lifted from G3YXM)
or look at the All Band Doublet
