If you’re an amateur radio enthusiast dealing with limited space, like a small backyard, an apartment balcony, or HOA restrictions. James Sawle (MD0MDI) offers an insightful solution with his article on the Direct Drive Ring Radiator (DDRR) antenna. Originally designed for military applications, the DDRR is a low-profile, ground-mounted antenna that operates efficiently on HF bands while occupying minimal space. Its compact design makes it ideal for urban settings or portable operations. Sawle’s article delves into the construction and tuning of the DDRR, providing practical guidance for those looking to build an effective antenna without the need for extensive space or elaborate setups. This resource is particularly valuable for hams seeking stealthy and efficient antenna solutions in space-constrained environments.
