Now that would be an antenna to do it all. If they had to make the boom long then do it. But that would be real nice to have it all. Jack wb4roy -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/FAQ/towertalk
The Force 12 5BA covers 10, 12, 15, 17, 20 meters on a fairly long boom (see catalog). They also have some WARC band beams. For those who want higher gain than typical tribanders provide, the long bo
A 60 foot boom you say? If you can put it up with a crane or a helicopter. And if you have a prop pitch to rotate it. Even then, have you ever seen a tower wind up underneath an antenna before it sta
If boom lenght/gain ratio isn't the matter, an LP array is the plain and good solution to have a 7-30 Mhz directional antenna. If instead an optimal compromise with boom-lenght/gain/BW/torque has to
This 5BA suggestion is very timely for me as I have all but settled on two of them. However, should it be considered a long boom antenna(s)? If the drawing in the catalog is somewhat to scale, it app
Al, The stacking distance for this antenna will depend on the active section of the boom for each band. Assuming the 20m section is the longest lets go from there. Figure the boom length in Wavelengt
Al, The 5BA is on a 33 ft. boom. boomlength by band: 20m - 14.5 ft. (3 el.) 17m - 8 ft. (2 el.) 15m - 12.5 ft. (3 el.) 12m - 0 ft. (1 el.) 10m - 12 ft. (4 el.) Re: stacking. The 5BA has very limited
