Does anyone have any experience with putting up an 80 or 40 meter vertical in a swamp? I have a swamp of about an acre and a half that contains rather thick undergrowth and trees that are old but not

We have a swamp area at the Wm H Pouch ham station W2WHP. It's not easy to use for antennas but the fantastic performance more then makes up for it. Over the past few years we have had a single wire

The Tesla Amateur Radio club guys, with a web presence, and incredible antenna farm pictures, could probably offer first hand experience on the niceties of a swamp, or slough based HF station. Google

A guy in our Friday ham radio lunch bunch has some antennas in and over a swamp and he swears they work great down there. ///////////// Richards - K8JHR /////////////// == putting up an 80 or 40 mete

Based on my experience and those of some neighbors in dense redwood forests, I'd say verticals will work well on 80M and 160, and probably on the other HF bands. Expect absorption to increase drastic

Is swamp water conductive? Fresh water swamps have a lot of stuff suspended or dissolved in the water. The conductivity might be much higher than pure water. A quick google: Great Salt Lake = 158,000

Thanks for the info Walter. My swamp is located in North eastern Wisconsin. No salt around the area. I may put a vertical in there or beside it and give it a try. It of course would be much easier to

For the area right in the neighborhood of the antenna (say, within one antenna height), the conductivity is important. Farther away, it's the relative permittivity (dielectric constant) that's more i

This depends largely on the QTH. Everglades water tends to be brackish, while water in the Louisiana swamps more fresh. My experience with a HyGain 14AVQ in Miami in the 70s was very good, no matter

I think that's exactly what I was driving at... it's not the conductivity as the fact that water makes a great reflector, fresh or salt. _______________________________________________ ______________

HI Pat et All, I 'googled' the Tesla Amateur Radio Club and didn't get a hit. I found the Tesla Radio Club located in NJ, but no pictures? can you give me a link? thanks, Bob NA6T Robert Smith Consul
