SOTA Antennas is an independent amateur radio project created by a radio enthusiast for fellow radio amateurs, antenna experimenters, and anyone interested in practical antenna design.
The purpose of this website is simple: to provide useful antenna calculators, design references, and practical information in an easy-to-use format.
The calculators available on SOTA Antennas are intended to help estimate antenna dimensions and other common design parameters before construction. They can be useful for portable operation, home stations, field experiments, and general antenna projects.
Antenna performance in real-world conditions depends on many factors, including installation height, nearby objects, ground characteristics, wire diameter, feed line, matching components, and the surrounding environment. For this reason, calculated dimensions should normally be treated as a starting point for final adjustment and testing.
SOTA Antennas is an independent website and is not affiliated with any antenna manufacturer, radio equipment company, or amateur radio organization.
The site will continue to grow with additional calculators, technical references, and tools for the amateur radio community.
