What everyone who points to ON4UN's "single raised raidal" system seems to forget is that John's 80 Meter system is installed ABOVE HIS 160 METER GROUND SYSTEM ... that system is "approximately 250

Most, if not all, of Florida is 100 MPH or 110 MPH territory. I would not consider leaving 20' of Rohn 45 above the guy point even with a small tribander (C-3, TH3, TA33, A3, etc.). Such an installa

This is the very essence of beam formation and the mechanism responsible for antenna gain/pattern. If an antenna has a pattern, ie. it radiates other than equally in all directions, it has gain. Cer

Since none of the experts has responded, I ran a home made model of the Cushcraft XM402 through AO and rotated the reflector around the boom. The model was run in free space with no other antennas p

L.B.'s results indicate that my model is on the right track (the loading losses are about 1dB) so I decided to re-run the test over ground. I chose 75 feet again with no other antennas, guy wires or

One caveat ... I haven't modeled the Force-12 40 meter antennas (linear loading is a bit beyond me right now). However, to get a good feel for the nature of the 40/15 stack problem I build AO models

True. BTW, "riding the load" is verboten, too. Not that anyone pays attention to the prohibitions on riding either the ball or the load ... at least so that I've seen on broadcast sites. 73, ... Joe

In practice, a single capacitor placed in the "ground" lead of the un-un should be all that is necessary. The un-un will provide the dc path from input to output (the relay operating current is smal

Probably the most common (at least I've had them on every truck I have used or built) mast on TV trucks is by Wil-Burt Manufacturing in Orrville, Ohio. At one time the "standard" was a either 48' or

Correct ... I had to replace a 56' mast on a TV remote truck last summer and the mast alone (air system, etc. was already in place) ran very close to $10,000 (through our truck builder). I no longer

ON4UN uses a single elevated radial on 80 over his extensive non-resonant 160 meter radial system. Mose elevated radial systems seem to work better with a "choke 'balun'" to reduce ground currents o
