Really low band antennas are either LF BC stations, few in EU as Long Wave band, or some submarine TX. Yuri Blanarovich, K3BU _______________________________________________ _________________________
If installed over salty marsh. Ever tried to model or compare any vertical over average and "perfect" sea ground and see the gain at LOW angles? The higher and larger the current carrying portion of

That may be true according to theories you use. :-) But according to "my" theory http://www.k3bu.us/propagation.htm sometimes low angles and ducting/refraction do not jive with conventional wisdom,
While the antenna is down, it would be beneficial to replace the loading stubs with coils. Gives significant improvement in antenna performance, especially cleaner and better F/B pattern. There was a
Hi Bill, It is possible that even windows are shielding if the glass is tinted. (No balcony or openable windows?) Sounds like only way would be to get to the roof, if you can manage to get (bribe) pe
The easiest thing to do, for not big heavy beams is to suspend the the rope berween two large pulleys, one mounted at the top, one at the bottom, sorta like a flag pole. Use large pulleys for more s
Howdy antenna lovers! We are looking for transportation of Big Bertha tower and some antennas from the north of DC area to mid NJ. It should be either tractor trailer with 40 - 50 ft bed or perhaps c
Oooops! Sorry for posting under wrong subject. Here it is again for those who skipped it: Howdy antenna lovers! We are looking for transportation of Big Bertha tower and some antennas from the north
On the booms, I had 62 ft booms for my Razors, they were tapered, starting in the middle with, if I remember correctly, 3.5" dia and 1/4 wall and tapering down, telescoping towards the ends. I had o
For mono-band antennas I prefer "bazooka" balun. It is a quarter wave stub wired per instructions in handbooks etc. Advantage is low loss, no ferites, it is a bal-un and also bandpass filter. Also w
