"Hi Hartmut, I cordially greet you and I thank you for your great and efficient work in designing antennas, for those of us who enjoy making our own antennas, we value it enormously. Got the information from your web page of the yagi of 5 el. for 12 meters band and I have been amazed by the great performance ... "
Gustavo, CE4WJK
"I want to thank you and congratulate you also for the yagi 7 dg7ybn, for 28 MHz, I connect the whole world, and they are the strongest station in Europe long path, everyone compliments me on the line. Thank you."
Matteo, IZ1RFT
"Thank you for posting excellent construction and education pages. Your method of presentation is excellent and your photography is professional.

"My compliments for the very complete and tutorial antenna site"
Ron, PA4K
"Thank you very much for publishing such an informative website. I found it whilst searching for a good way of measuring a quarter wave stub for 145.950. I was fascinated to read your explanation of the frequency dependent nature of coax. As far as I know, this is not covered in any amateur books and I had never heard of it before. I had often wondered why one could not rely on manufacturers VF data for critical stubs - now I know!
Best 73"
Russ, G4SAQ
"And again, you have a very informative website. Congrats!"
Micha, PG2M (ex. PA3EPD)
"Look at those numbers, You are a genius"

(when building a GTV 70-19 to my measures and details strictly, which "out of the box" was plotted with -40 dB @ 432.140 / VSWR = 1.02 and falling towards 432.500 as simulated)
Wanna see my real genius?
