Hi folks.... I've asked a few of you off-line, but thought I'd poll those who care to respond. I am experimenting with a 1/4 wave 40 mtr GP with the top at 80 feet. I initially have only placed two r

OK gurus...... A 1/4 wave inv L. Vertical to 66 feet, the balance horizontal. 32 radials on top of the ground. Range in length from 35 to 68 feet; a good mix of those lengths and using 14 solid coppe
My personal experience aligns with Jim's. So does modeling. The range of 3-10db off the ends of a flat dipole is very typical. An inverted V will not typically exhibit the same level of nulls of the
Have one or two for sale? 73 John K4NP fraz1@bellsouth.net _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.
Thanks for the input folks. Got one on the way. 73 John K4NP _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contestin
Looking for one of the later models, with two inputs (SO 239) and the three fixed caps inside for better reach on 160m. Might consider earlier model. Need one for an experiment. Please email off list
OK Guys.......any secrets to removing the foil from this or similar cables, please? Yep......I've tried the Exacto knife and razor blade methods. I seem to "eat" the dielectric! 73 John W4II ________
Hey folks.... I have been using BuryFlex with excellent results. I'd like to use some LMR cable and take it under ground via plastic pipe for a 30 foot run. Is there any special pipe I need or will a
Hi folks..... I'm looking for a few folks with solid hands on experience with various wire antennas. Would like to share observations. Especially interested in those with loop experience. Please emai
Hi Dave..... Interesting, since the INV L should show some directivity opposite from the direction of the end of the flat top portion? Or, better put, opposite the open end of the horizontal portion.
No room for beverages. Currently using a EWE, 10' vertical, 35' horizontal, 9:1 feed transformer, and terminated at 900 ohms. Not doing well on 40/30m. Very good on 160. Any experience to be shared?
Same issue here with one I have, Jim. I need to pull it apart and see what is, or is not, happening. I believe they have "redesigned" these. Mine is the wall-mount version, not the console model. 73
Looking for a source for copperclad steel wire. In the past I bought 1/4 mile reels from Grainger, but it is no longer available there. I think it was 20 or 21 AWG. Don't need a 1/4 mile, just severa
I am not into "commercializing" on the reflector, but Steve helped me as a ham. He arranged for me to fill my needs through a third party after doing some research on my behalf. Frankly, the amount o
OK folks......have at it. I have read all of the info on ground systems I can find. I have received input from one of the most respected frequenters of this reflector, but am seeking additional input
Hi Jim...hope you got my return QSL for the 6m Q. I did mention that the station ground rod is connected to the utility ground (via 65' run of buried 6 AWG). That is the point where the three other r
So, Perry, would the bees be horizontally or vertically polarized? And, I suppose the pattern would be much like a beehive? Sorry....tried to pass it up...couldn't do it. ;-) 73 John W4II ___________
I've been using good old 3/32" black Dacron line to support my wire antennas. Is there anything smaller in diameter out there? Stealth is important. Thanks, and 73 John W4II _________________________
