I live in a heavy hardwood forest and need to know if running a beverage
thru the maze would be effective on 160.
My lot is only 1-1/2 acres measuring 200' E&W on the south side, 420 N&S
on the East side, and 262' N&S on the west side. The north side is a
246' diagonal from the two north ends of the east and west legs.
My house and garage is in the middle of this lot with a 60 deep ravine
behind them.
That means however I run the beverage, trying to get it in the NE
direction, my feed line would be almost 200' long to get to the far SW
end of it.
Besides that, the land is hilly, so the average elevation of it, not the
height above ground, could vary as much as 60 ft. The ground is
basically sand (NE Wisconsin).
On the south and west sides of the lot is 8200 acres of thick County
Forest, same varying terrain.
Would it work? In the past I have been using a 160m dipole and in the
winter I put up a Tee with a few radials for xmtg, which I will do again
the winter.
I've worked every thing I've heard (with legal power limit) but I know
there is a lot I'm not hearing.
Any suggestions? ... short of moving ... which I hope to be doing by
spring!
Would I be better off with a Flag or Pennant?
Please ... thanks 73 Dwight NS9I
