Antennas are the single most important part of any radio installation.

Without the antenna a station is not on the air.

You can purchase a $10,000 commercial radio, but if you have a terrible antenna, it will probably be a waste.

There are different kinds of antennas for different purposes. Here are the most common antennas:

• Dipole
• Folded dipole
• Whip
• Yagi / Yagi-Udo
• G5RV
• Off Centre Fed Dipole
• Carolina Windham
