1. [TowerTalk] 40/80m dipole (score: 1)

I would like to build and send to my son a coil loaded dipole for 80/40m. He has about 90 feet space to hang it in. Has anyone information on loading coil values and placement in the 90 ft dipole? Tn

Dan, How about two parallel dipoles from the same feedpoint with the 80m dipole strung between the 90' supports and about 20' at each end hanging down. The 40m dipole could then be 'fanned' downward

Dan: I concur with Don's recommendation about using two dipoles on the same feedline. I used this arrangement (with a third dipole for 20M) during my Novice days and it worked well for me. The non-re

Right. And, bandwidth will be a lot better with the parallel dipoles. Sometimes, shortening a dipole can really make them kinda narrow. 73 and GL Tom W7WHY ___________________________________________

While I'm a fan of fan dipoles and have four of them in the air, I'm going to take a contrarian viewpoint, in view of the fact that his space is limited, and that there is a very nice loaded dipole y

Check out KU3X's website. I have one of his antennas up now (20-40) as a sloper SE. The antenna works well. http://www.angelfire.com/electronic/hypower/ 73, Stew K3ND ________________________________

I should have mentioned that the 40/80 antenna for my son will be almost vertical. He has a single pulley in a tall tree to suspend the antenna. I agree that the fan dipole or bent full size dipoles

Dan, The direct answer to your question is to use these two websites to calculate the inductance (coil) you will need based on your choice of location and then to design the coil you can build. http:

Several thoughts. First, a vertical dipole is not a very good antenna. I say that from direct experience -- I have a 40M vertical dipole with the top suspended at about 100 ft from a tall redwood. It

Dan, The ARRL antenna book has a section on winding coils as you are looking for. Depends on how far out the wire the coil will be needed. I suggest a coil that traps 40 at the 1/2 wave point on 40 a
