Antennas
Sirio Gain-Master and Harvest Taurus JN-316
I switch between these HF antennas depending on what I am doing. The Sirio Gain-Master has worked better for me on 10 meters. I have used the antennas to make DX contacts with stations in places including Angola, South Africa, Japan, and Fiji.
Arrow Antenna OSJ 146/440
This is my dual-band VHF/UHF omnidirectional antenna for 2m and 70cm.
Indoor / Portable Dipole
I have also used two Shark antennas on a dipole mount for indoor and portable experimenting. One setup was about 10 feet high beside a 15-foot-tall house and almost touched the gutter.
