Came home to find my "improvised" 160m inverted L folded over like a pretzel
today, so must rebuild once again.
(It was part 40m freestanding vertical (small diameter aluminum), part top
loading wire, #12AWG stranded, insulated)
(gotta love that ice/wind/freezing rain and snow we get here....the News
described todays weather as a "weather bomb")
SOmewhere I had stashed the formula away for safekeeping, but seems I kept
it too safe....even from myself
Anyways, I am contemplating temporarily graphting some pipe together and I
think I can get close to 63½' tall(about 1/2 size vert), so what lengths do
I use for the 3 top loading wires? They'll likely have to come down at close
to 45º angle unfortunately unless I can get creative with far far away
endpoints.
I have a large Air-Variable Cap I can use to base match, so if I am a wee
bit long, that's fine. I may even add a small DC motor to it so I can move
around the band a little bit.
Already have lots of buried radials.
Hope to see you all in the STEW and CQ160....
Thanks in advance !
