Currently I only have a 2M and 6M
antenna installed and hope to get HF going over the next few months
with a 160 meter beverage antenna for receiving and something for
transmitting which I havent decided on yet, although I have a few
options.
Both these VHF/UHF antenna designs below are from Justin, G0KSC
and both designs are on his website, although the 2 Meter/144 Mhz
version here is the UK/USA version that Justin custom designed for me
in June 2010 which was a superb effort in such a short time. Here is the antenna information and Eznec file with his permission.
Both versions use G0KSC hybrid matching recomendations and I have found this is the easiest to make and impliment. Here is a "link" describing this method of matching that I have used with success and a link to G0KSC - "Creating a Balun "

Pully system to tilt mast up. This wasn't too hard for one person to lower
and raise mast. This is a temporary arrangment and mast will be fixed to the container.
