Many 'long wire' antenna installations benefit from an ATU located close to the feedpoint. However, the feedpoint is often best situated some distance from the radio 'shack'. This raises the question of how to power the ATU. This article provides one possible solution.

For the club's August "field day" members built and tested an NVIS antenna. This was prompted by the success of a relatively low G5RV antenna on 40 meters at the Broadwater Carnival.

Gary, G0XAN, has built some coaxial notch filters for use at Special Event or contest stations where it's desirable to run two HF stations at the same time. The information originally came from an article by John Crowder G0GDU on the www.radio-scouting.org.uk web site, although it doesn't seem to be available on the current site (radioscouting.uk).

After G7RQD read some interesting articles on the web on hentennas, M0PCR (M6PAR at the time) got together one winter's night in 2010 to try our hand at one. The hentenna was invented by Japanese amateurs, with 'hen' being the Japanese for strange. It is perhaps named so as it is vertically polarised when laid down in what you would have thought was a horizontal plane. Essentially its a full wave loop that is commonly used on the 2m and 6m bands.
