Here's another useful tool for antenna experimenters. With the suggestions given in this article, you can design, build, and use an effective dipole antenna that needs much less space than a full-sized dipole by adding two simple, inexpensive loading coils.

The article provides a simple set of formulas to help you through the design and building process.  The author also supplies a simple coil inductance calculator and a link to a related article by Jerry Hall (K1PLP) in the September 1974 issue of "QST".
