Are their designs for 80m dipoles covering 3.5 through 4.0 preferably without a trip to the antenna? Sounds like the search for the holy grail. Some ideas: 1) a pair of dipoles with one feedpoint, on
without a ideas: used. Pete, I use 4 dipoles for 40 & 75/80 meters, all with one feedline. I have one cut for each part of each band at: 7.04, 7.23, 3.60, and 3.85 mhz. They are fed with one length
What about a "bazooka antenna" ?? Any thoughts on one of these ?? Anyone ?.............................Anyone ?................. Thanks, Jim W7RY --Original Message-- From: Bob - KF9YH <kf9yh@netnitc
Pete, WS4G; Number one below has been around for some time; cut one 80m dipole for 3.525 and the 2nd one for about 3.900 as I recall. Feed a short and long side and braid to a short an dlong side, if
I like this idea by W6NL. http://www.contesting.com/_towertalk/9711/0701.html Also see these: http://www.cebik.com/wb.html http://www.contesting.com/_towertalk/9711/0712.html -- George Fremin III "I'
There was an article in one of the magazines on using antenna across the band. I think it used some kind of 75 ohm transformer in the feedline. I've since lost the info. If anyone has it I would also
without a ideas: used. You will find this method described in any good wire antenna book. end A simple dipole with an antenna tuner will cover the entire band just fine. would be Most Hams who have
This will work fine if the antennas do not couple to each other which can be achieved by placing them at 90 degrees to each other. Another approach is described below by W4RNL based on a piece by W6N
There is an entire chapter in my ARRL Ant book ( 17th ed.)devoted to broadband 80m dipoles.Much of the material came from an article in QST for April, 1983. They generally use some reactance cancelin
Pete, It indeed does work. W2PV wrote about one that he designed for his contest station that was an inverted vee configured dipole that covered 75,80, and 160. It was written up in QST sometime in t
