Sorry, definately not on my HF2V! Are you sure you are talking about the same antenna? Perhaps the HF6V or HF9V or one with a 30m mod are different? I counted again. Indeed there are 17 turns on the

There is also plenty of flooded RG11 available on eBay. Try searching for RG11, RG-11, and "RG 11" (need the quotes if you put the space in there). I recently bought 10,000' of flooded RG11 (Commsco

I do something similar here. I load one of the verticals from my 80m array on 160 with a base loading coil. It's pretty simple... it's a coil about 5" in diameter made of 1/4" copper tubing. The feed
