- It is amazing that a 66' long counterpoise can be effective on 160m. I put one in the woods at this condo location in NH yesterday and heard an SM, G6 and W9 and W0 stations on it last night and th

- Thanks, but I realized that. I was just curious, because somewhere I read that the FCP had a slightly narrower bandwidth than a couple of elevated radials. 73, Mike www.w0btu.com Mike, The wider the

- I think I see why you said what you did, Tom. If we replace the two elevated radials under our inverted-L with an FCP, and the bandwidth gets a little narrower, then yes, that doesn't prove that we'v

- We should get the idea "less BW indicates more efficiency" out of our minds. I think I see why you said what you did, Tom. If we replace the two elevated radials under our inverted-L with an FCP, and

- Thanks, Jim. One thing seems certain, and that's that K2AV's FCP is plenty efficient enough to allow hams with HOAs or limited space to get on 160 with a really good signal. The FCP is on my long lis
