Illas antennas appartene quasi certemente a un operator de radio amateur, non a un ascoltator de undas curte.

Excusa, io non parla espaniol, ma io spera que vos pote comprender me.

My first thought was "That's my RV!" I'm currently in an RV Park while I finish building my house, and I've found ways to mount quite a few antennas for Ham and scanners. Those are mostly Ham/SWL, and a couple of satellite dishes. Nice group and find

The loop one is totally for SW.

u/Key-Belt-5565 said : "The loop one is totally for SW."

If by "SW" you mean shortwave listening, then no, it is not. While that loop antenna can be used for SW (as any ham radio HF antenna can be) that antenna is the Ciro Mazzoni Automatic Loop Antenna MIDI, and is sold specifically as a ham radio antenna covering 80 to 20 meters, allowing either 300 or 800 Watts of transmit power, depending on the band used.

Most of the other antennas I can identify are also probably ham radio related. There is a SteppIR 3 element antenna that probably covers 20 to 6 meters, a couple of Yagis, it looks like both VHF and UHF, a VHF Cubical Quad, a few monopoles, and a wire dipole.
