- I have decided to build a Cage Vertical. I can get about 80 to 100 feet straight up by suspending it from a catenary strung between two of my taller trees. Two points: 1 The wire I intend to use is F

- If you are only going 6" (give or take) then take a piece of that thin drain pipe, say about a 1/2" to inch long. Arrange the wires around it with equal spacing. You can hot glue, wrap tape around it

- Clint, You can use the thin drain pipe and drill the attaching holes through the side of each ring. Then you can attach the antenna wires to the ring by using small nylon cable ties. Pass them thru t

- Dick, Thanks for the "heads-up". I never have figured out how to model an antenna. I really didn't think I could cover both the 75 & 80M bands. I had hoped to broaden the bandwidth enough that I didn

- There is an article titled "Broad Band 80 meter antenna" by Allan Harbach, WA4DRU from the December 1980 issue of QST that can be found in the ARRL members area. I think this is the article duplicate

- Clint, You can make a multi frequency element using the cage method. Just make each wire a slightly different length. Then it will tune across a larger bandwidth. I have built multi-band dipoles usin
