Hi Gary Congratulations! Best or what people are using? For best maybe you can take a look at VY2ZM antennas :-) What people are using, maybe and inv L, vertical with lot of radials, 1/2 wl sloper I

Gary, I've compiled some useful information about this at www.w0btu.com/160_meters.html. Maybe you can use those trees as supports for a few elevated radials under an inverted-L! Scroll down to the l

Hi Gary, For many years I used an inverted L between two tall pine trees and one elevated radial that was L shaped to fit on the 90' x 60' lot I had in Spring, TX. The radial was about 15' up and it

The importance of a ferrite choke balun at the feedpoint cannot be overemphasized. A good design for 160m is 5 or 6 turns of coax wound through five stacked 2.4" 31-material ferrite toroids. Photos a

Also try an Inverted L and elevated radials (4-6 100 ft) for 160 & 80M. See the QST 2012 article by Scott, K4VWK. I am using this antenna now and for the past two yrs w/ great success. Good luck - Al

Ive found it useful to put a ferrite choke balun at each end one at the antenna and one at the receiver. Jim Brown, K9YC, has some helpful stuff on the internet about this. Sent from Mail<https://go.

Wow! What a question to ask on this site. Gary, every member has an answer. Back as far as the 70's I asked that question of about 80 160 DXers world wide. I had more than 60 of them answer with diag

Really? Well established FACT? Im quite confused then as reading Johns book it seems quite nebulous the impact of elevated radials. Doesnt seem to be a fact more dependent on location and other varia

Maybe not. There has been more research done since I last read N6LF's writings, etc. The earth underneath must have something to do with it. In any case, the current has to be the same on all the rad

Have there been any professional studies done on the efficiency of elevated radials? One would think the broadcast industry would be interested in a few elevated radials instead of burying all that e

Question on the choke balun. I am using a Comtek 100 bead over RG-400 feedline choke on my shunt fed tower. Would there be a noticeable difference by replacing with a stack of ferrite cores and sever

In my opinion there wouldn't be a noticeable difference if you removed what you already have assuming you have a reasonably good radial system. Stan, K5GO _________________ Topband Reflector Archives
