Pete, It indeed does work. W2PV wrote about one that he designed for his contest station that was an inverted vee configured dipole that covered 75,80, and 160. It was written up in QST sometime in t
I agree, but it might make a dandy 80/160 shunt fed vertical! 73, Stew K3ND == message truncated == == __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Bid and sell for free at http:
The article "160/80/75 Meter Broad-Band Inverted-V Antenna" by W2PV (sk) was in the November Issue of QST magazine. This antenna was developed by Jim for use at his fine contest station. 73, Stew K3N

Brian, Luckily I don't have to do anything like that. I use a prop pitch rotator with a custom built control/indicator unit. It's turning a TH6 / 40-2CD combo so no boom interaction problems. I've se

Have a TH6 at 62 ft with a 40-2CD ten feet above. Only interaction I noticed was a slight shift in the SWR curve of the TH6 on 15M. Performance on 15 seems to be unchanged. Even stacked monobanders c
I've used lexan tube & rod in HF RF applications for years. Am presently using it as a replacement for the stock DE insulators on my 40-2CD. No problems so far. Also used it for the form when I built
