Such antennas are primarily to be used in person-portable / rucksack-portable activations of parks, hills and mountains, islands and lighthouses in the various amateur radio outdoor award schemes. They would also be ideal for Field-Day operations, either as the main antenna for a single-op entry, or as an alternative antenna for multi-op entries. Of course, the same antenna designs can also be used at a home QTH - just use more substantial fittings and support structures.

The tools included in each designer page enable displays of radiation patterns, VSWR curves, antenna current diagrams, and Smith charts - all calculated and displayed dynamically for the antenna you design. No other website offers such an extensive set of tools to check your antenna design.
