I was convinced to operate in CQ WW 160 SSB as well and planning some antenna project. I would like to get in touch with Hams regarding Shunt Fed Tower. I would like to try this as well. I am sure th

I would like to put up something permanent for 160. I have a 3el 30m beam that I would also like to put up. If I put the beam on 90ft of tower and shunt fed it how would the 2-1 band width compare to

Hello Jim: With a flat SWR on 160, I think something must be wrong. I shunt-feed an 80ft tower with a 5 el 20 mtr yagi at 80ft, 15 mtr 3 el at 90 ft and 10 mtr el at 100 ft. My shunt feed is tapped a

____ At 60 feet, a shunt wire should go all the way to the top. Two wires spaced the width of the tower face will improve the bandwidth, especially if they are installed more than a foot away from t

I have buried about 18 radials now and have my shunt fed tower up and going. For the time being I am tuning it through my Palstar tuner. It tunes up with a 1.7 SWR on 1.8 MHz and 1.4 SWR on 2.0 MHz.

I plan on shunt feeding my 88' Rohn 45 Tower for 160M. It has 12 feet of mast out the top. The only antenna is an 40M Inverted Vee @ 80' I have plans to put up 20 & 40 Monobanders and possibly raise

1. Make sure the inverted V is not going to interact and distort the vertical TOA. 2. Try to at least get a 30 foot horizontal boom on the mast in the mean time. This will bring you very close to a 1

Use one of my coaxial chokes (use the instructions for 80M-160M) on the feedline of the 40M antenna, placing it roughly halfway between the top of the antenna and the earth. This will take the feedli

I am not an expert by any means, but believe the example of KG8CO who has a 125 foot tower with the M2 40M Yagi would not be too tall and would work well. W8LRL uses a 200 Foot tower and didn't put u

Hi Goose, I suspect that your situation is fairly unique in that most who have towers do not have a base insulator. Even for those fortunate enough to have a base insulator, I wonder if shunt feeding

Yes, if other antennas are on the tower series feeding does require some big RFC. Mine are typically 75 to 100 feet of coax or rotor cable wound on 6-inch diameter PVC forms (size originally suggeste
