Hi,

 

I would like try the Reverse Feed System (N4KG antenna) on 80m.

 

I have a 50 ft GROUNDED tower (isolated from the guy wires) and similar size
of Rohn 25G.How much top loading I need If radials (4) are connected at 15
ft?...

 

I have an spiderbeam on top but this antenna does not add any LOAD because
all elements are isolated.Anyway, I have a 6m Yagi. 5 elem on a 15ft boom.
The 6m yagi has all elem connected to the boom but the driven. I can install
the 6m yagi on top of the tower about 4 ft below the spiderbeam.

 

Maybe I need a larger 6m yagi to obtain enough loading ?

 

Thoughts ?

 

Doug, CO8DM
