I've wondered before what the deal is with 43 foot verticals. By that I mean, it seems suddenly I started seeing 43 feet mentioned all over the place for an "all band vertical." Is 43 feet some magic
OK, so what happens if we modify the N3OX approach. I have a Hy-Gain AV640 as my only antenna, and have it mounted on a 20', foldover "tower." See, there's a tower to this. SEriously, 4" diameter up
Rob, A 43 foot vertical is 5/8 wavelength on 20 meters. With appropriate radial and matching systems it can be an excellent antenna on 80 through 20 meters, and a fairly good antenna on 160 and 17 me
If you work it right, you should be able to get a good parallel vertical going that way. I've seen it done a few times with fairly long standoffs to the sides. It would be tough to do with wires wra
