Still have a foot of snow on the ground, so I'm not quite ready to climb yet. See photos on QRZ page. I have 3 antennas on a 10' mast sticking a total of 8' out the top of the tower. From top to bott
How is it possible to tune an antenna on the ground? John KK9A I have 3 antennas on a 10' mast sticking a total of 8' out the top of the tower. From top to bottom, 2M7, 6M3 and a C3, all equally spac
You can point the antenna at the sky and support it somewhat off the ground and get fairly close (the back element is somewhat detuned) John KK9A I have 3 antennas on a 10' mast sticking a total of 8
Try the 6m perpendicular to the C3 to see if that helps. It could be placed at the top of the mast for best separation and the 2m in the middle. Chuck W5PR ___________________________________________
I have a 2M18xxx and a 6M9KHW and M2 told me that 7' was the minimum separation to avoid interaction. Interaction MAY affect SWR but more likely will create a distortion of pattern. My 2M is on top o
Al, I have had a 6 mtr beam mounted above my TA-33 tribander in several different installations for the past 40 plus years. There has been no significant interaction between the two antennas (50 MHZ
Do you need to be careful when turning antenna 90 degrees that your boom is not a fundamental length of the band you are concerned about or you might create other pattern issues? W0MU I have had a 6
Hi Al, Was this a sudden change on your 6m yagi? I've always tried to put my yagi's reflector some distance above ground, pointed at the sky, to do rough SWR adjustments before erecting them on a tow
Thanks to all for the help! To make a long story short, this setup was what I could do without a zoning variance, which I'm saving for a time in the near future when I have more land and will put som
If you can do modeling, try modeling dipoles for the bands where you are concerned about interaction, with a generator in only one of them. Open the View Antenna window. Then compute the far field re
