THE HENTENNA

The Hentenna was developed by Japanese 6 Meter Hams, JE1DEU / JH1FCZ/ JH1YST in the 1970's and can be designed and built for hf thru uhf and possibly beyond! Sizes given are for 6m.

After much experimentation, finally, the antenna was developed with good performance, however, it was difficult to explain why the performance was so good, or how it is worked basically at that time. So it was named Hentenna, "Hen" means "strange" in Japanese.

The antenna has good performance and many advantages and it has become very popular in Japan. Many JA stations make it and enjoy it at home or in the field. Some Japanese 6m beacon stations are using the Hentenna antenna.


VHF / UHF Direct Connect Beams

Sizing details for several 2 to 4 element beams from 10m to 70cm


Phil Salas AD5X 40 through 6 meter HF Portable Antenna

Simplified and improved design from that published in the July 2002 QST. Now an aluminium tube design which is lighter and more compact tan the original.






EI7BA Multiband Cubical Quad

It covers six bands 20m to 10m on HF and also 6m. It is a Boomless (spider quad gem quad) design. It uses Glassfibre arms (a must). It uses a single coax line to a homebrew antenna switch. From there a seperate feedline goes to each of the Driven Element feedpoints. There is a homebrew Choke Balun at each feedpoint.

Performance
I have no accurate method to measure forward gain but I reckon it is the text book 6 to 7 db. F/B ratio is consistently 5 to 6 S points on my TS850 S meter on all bands 20 - 10m. I don't know how many dBs per S Point for my TS 850 but it is surely at least 3dB per S Point. So this translates to a minimum of 15 dB and arguably as high as 30dB. As with all 2 element Quads It has a wide beamwidth about 60 degrees.

ADDENDUM.. An extra two bands..!
I have added three elements for 6m and 2 elements for the European 4m (70mHz) band to the existing spider, and on a seperate 6ft boom which is clamped to the spider, I have 5 elements for 2m, and 9 elements for 70cms.. A grand total of 11 bands..


Two portable 6 meters antennas by VE7CA

Both antennas were designed for easy construction and quick assembly and disassembly. The quad provides a measured gain of 4.2 dB over a dipole and the yagi 5.8 dB over a dipole. Details are given describing the methods used to measure the gain of both antennas.





6 Meter 5/8 Wave Vertical Antenna

The G3JVL 6 Meter ground plane vertical is a compact antenna that is ideal for portable operations. If needed, it can be disassembled into a very small bundle no longer than the longest element.

Although a little engineering work is required, it is well within the abilities of the home workshop and all you newly licensed amateurs or 6 Meter buffs!


5 BAND LOG PERIODIC DIPOLE ARRAY

The unique feature of the Telerana is that the elements are wire instead of aluminum tubing which makes for a light weight LPDA (log periodic dipole array). The array is suspended within a framework made of fiberglass poles emanating from a central hub with the ends tied together with light weight rope around the perimeter.


MULTIBAND ONE ELEMENT VEE BEAM BY LA0HV

The TriDouble dipole has two elements of 3/4 wavelength each.
It has resonance at the design freq but the impedance is high (500 Ohm) and the reactance/inductance value changes greatly when you change frequency.

To compensate for this you shorten the element length a bit and add open wire, 400-600 Ohm (not critical). This will decrease impedance to 200 Ohm at the design frequency. This is why I use a 4:1 Current balun (must be a current balun).


HexBeam for six meters

This is a hex beam I designed for six meters. It has three elements with a turning radius of 54 inches. This antenna can be built from low cost materials available from the local hardware store.


QRP Six Metre Portable Dipole

Simple design using a central box and two whips. Fits onto a camera tripod.
