• 80 m SSB:  phased array of 2 quarter-wave verticals, l/4 spacing
• 80 m CW:  4-square, phased array, elevated radials.
• 40 m SSB:  4-square, phased array, elevated radials.
• 40 m CW:  4-square, phased array, elevated radials.
• 30 m CW:  4-square, phased array, elevated radials.
• 40/30 m RTTY:  loop made of Spider fiberglass masts.
• 20 m - 10 m CW:  2x Spiderbeam 20-17-15-10, 1 up 21 m, 1 up 18 m.
• 20 m - 10 m SSB:  2x Spiderbeam 20-17-15-10, 1 up 21 m, 1 up 18 m.
• 20 m - 10 m RTTY:  Spiderbeam 20-17-15-10, up 18 m.
• 6 m:  6-element beam on 6 m boom, up 8 m + omnidirectional beacon antenna.
• Low-band Rx:  K9AY receiving antennas.
