Two questions. I have 75 acres to play with and would like to put in beverage antennas. However, there is very little flat land here. I can run the beverages in a straight line but they will follow l

While going through my low band antenna notes covering the last 40 years or so, I came across a few contradicting pieces of data. Trying to resolve the issues with computer modeling exercises only re

Sloping down the capacitive loading wires you actually shorten the antenna. If the loading wires are long and consistently sloped, you mainly radiate with those wires instead of with the vertical sec

Hi Larry, Unless we A-B an antenna time and time again against a known and stable reference and average the results, small or even modest changes are lost in the data clutter. I never looked at data

As I said, Mauri, my experience and modeling efforts agree with your assessment. I think I need to define "short". Some folks seem to think a short vertical is a couple feet less than a quarter wave.

The only "problem" is that most guyed towers are guyed at less than 45 degrees (100% guying). As I recall, without running the models, the problems get rapidly worse as the angle drops below 45 degre

Very true. That's why I always base my conclusions on observations made over a span of years. Log entries are a fair filter of "measurement noise" and, after all, isn't the "best" antenna the one tha

Hi Tom & all, a 45 degrees inclination is acceptable with relatively tall antennas but not so much with shorter ones. With shorter radiators such an inclination (slope), and using hat wires long eno

Hi Larry, The best thing with any of this is to model the antenna. Not at all. Log entries reflect propagation, equipment, noise , and many other things including the mood of the operator. There is s

Hi Mario, I'm nearly out of time for this, but I'd hate to see anyone sell an idea that has merit short. While no one can dispute long hat wires near ground are a problem, we should not neglect compa

Herb, I've never tried this because in every instance where I needed a "hat", I have been limited to only two drooping wires. Is this data from computer modeling or actual measurement? Is the 30 perc
