    Lambda Antenna

    This document summarizes the construction and testing of an improvised "lambda" antenna made from electrical wire. The antenna was constructed using two pieces of wire of different lengths soldered to connectors on one end and insulators on the other. The wires were run parallel for three meters then separated at an angle. Initial testing on a lake showed the antenna worked well for receiving signals on frequencies from 40 MHz and higher, with some contacts on 80 MHz as well. Using the antenna, 44 contacts were made with 16 countries, with the furthest QRO contact over 3,655 km and furthest QRP contact 1,850 km away.

    "Lambda" stretched from splitted electrical wire

    Among the many simple antennas designed to work in the field, I was interested in one on the fact
    that its production does not require any cables or overhead line and loading coil or other elements
    that complicate making such an antenna. Description of this antenna came up in the forum, which
    discusses the transceiver PFR-3. It was meant to be like a tri-band "LAMBDA" antenna. Here's how
    it looks in the screenshot of one of the videos.

    In my variant, the antenna is made of two pieces of conventional conductive wire. One piece of
    length 7.6 meters, the second - 13.4 meters. At one end of each of the pieces I soldered a pin
    connector for connection to the consent of the device (from the disassembled connector for
    electrical cables type SSHR (СШР)), on the opposite - small insulators glass-cloth washers. From
    the connectors three meters of both wires are parallel to each other, then - to the sides. To
    consolidate these wires, I have threaded them through pieces of heat shrink tubing, which is then
    warmed. You could just fix it with tape, or just take a two-wire lighting wire length of 13.4 meters
    and separate the two strands, leaving a three-meter untouched "tail" and cut to the length of one of
    the wires :-)

    The first tests of the antenna have been back in the summer on the lake. As in the original, the long
    part almost vertically and the shorter part parallel to the ground. To throw I tied a tennis ball to a
    long line of rope. On the basis that if the back does not pull out, then ripped and the ball itself fall
    to the ground, and antenna - under its own power for pulling hands :) Honestly, the idea of a ball
    podglyadel Americans in one of the commercials about this antenna :) << I have no idea how to
    translate this... sorry! Google translate did not know подглядел

    Gathered to work from his father's house, without further ado, I decided not to waste time on the
    production of any external antenna and take already proven "lambda".

    Since it was not possible to raise the long part vertically, I spread the antenna along the eaves in the
    rooms and the rest of the extended through the doorway. Turned out to be just an unbalanced dipole.
    "Lambda", as it were stretched out in the splits :) On the sketch you can see some intricate zigzag
    turned out in the end.
    And although radiation at a stone's throw, and along the short side of the antenna were heating
    pipes, the antenna worked well, ranging from 40-meters and higher, up to ten. On 80 also a couple
    of contacts were made, but at the time on this QTH there was a very strong interference on this
    band, and despite the well matched antenna it was too difficult.

    I made 44 QSO with 16 countries. The farthest QRO-contact - 3655 km (15 watts, 14 MHz, SSB,
    59/58), the farthest QRP-contact - 1,850 km (3 watts, 14 MHz, CW, 539/539).
