Hello again! What is the collective wisdom on using guy wires as an inverted Vee? Specificaly for 75 meters, maybe switchable from side to side? Since I have the opportunity to incorporate this idea,

Hi Tom - - I've been doing just this for nearly 20 years. When I originally put up my tower, I insulated the top set of guys, and feed it with window line. I had originally intended to place a relay

Better to break up your guy wires and make separate inverted vees for the low bands. This is MUCH more versitile for orientation AND it will all you to raise the ends higher. Note that the closer the

Tom, Think about what you are trying to do from an antenna propagation point of view. As stated, you wish to obtain some kind of directivity-switching by being able to switch from one set of inverted

But also don't be surprised if it interacts with the HF tribander that you presumably plan to place just above its apex. This happened to me. Assuming your interest is DX, I would seriously consider

We're talking about making a switching directive array out of GUY WIRES. That's a lot of work. So, what is the benefit. That's the analysis. A pair of inverted "V"s at right angles will be very simpl

Well, yes, if all you're talking about is inverted vees. I didn't bring this up before, because a 70' tower isn't tall enough for 80 meters, but a parasitic lazy vee array (see 8/94 QST) works great

For domestic coverage and close in DX, I agree that a single 80M inverted vee at 70 ft will suffice most of the time. For SERIOUS DXing, even at 70 ft, there is some benefit (the 4-6 dB F / S referen

Yep - my experience too. I feed mine at the bottom corner with 1:1 balun and 75ohm coax, though have also used Belden 9207 which is a screened 100ohm twinaxial, 8.4mm o.d. meant for office data netwo
