Making a 28 MHz vertical dipole into a beam: Does it work?
Is it worthwhile adding a parasitic element to a wire dipole to form a 2 element beam? Here I try it with a crude vertical dipole on 28 MHz.

Using two cheap Chinese handhelds (Baofeng UV82) to work through the AO91 amateur satellite. Their performance is marginal for this application. But if you pick a high pass, operate out in the open and choose a time when there's not many others on then you may make contacts.

Description of a 80cm diameter magnetic loop antenna for HF pedestrian mobile operation on all bands between 7 and 28 MHz.
This one is heavier than my previous loops (being made of copper tubing) but delivers better performance.
JUNE 2012 UPDATE: A video comparing this loop with another is presented at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YswnVmAKSP0 I have a new favourite loop!

Experiments with 3.5 MHz pedestrian mobile with a 5 metre centre loaded vertical in the water. Stations worked were up to approximately 150km distance. The time was 8am. Interestingly the effect of touching the sand was less marked than on 40m.
Use this to calculate the inductance required for centre loaded verticals: http://www.m0ukd.com/calculators/loaded-quarter-wave-antenna-inductance-calculator/
