I heard that 5K0Z was to be on 160M the past couple of days but had no 160M antenna here at the summer home. I installed an inverted L alongside and in parallel with my 80/40 vertical and gave it a t

Dear Fellow TopBanders, My 30 meter tall vertical came down on Friday in a storm - second time this season. I spent most of Saturday and Sunday re-building the radiator. I decided to give up bottom l

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I cut the length to 170 feet +/- and have a dinky radial system. It seems to work real well! I plan to improve the radial system and add a series air-variable cap

1. Yes, in general... However the 3/8 moves the current lobe up the wire... So, lessened ground heating may offset the change in the main angle of radiation... Try it at a quarter wave until you have

Cris, When radials are on or very near the ground, they act more like distributed capacitance to ground rather than like a tuned element. So it's not necessary to tune them to any particular length.

Any recommendations re adding 80m to an existing 160m inverted L? Would it be better to: 1) insert a coax trap 2) Tue the antenna at the base (LC network)? My concerns are if the coax trap will decre

Would it be better to: I impedance match it at the base, it will be a 1/4 on 160 and 1/2 wave on 80m. The problem there being 1/2 wave verticals usually are asociated with line radiation problems. Ro

from Ron, 4S7RO: Ron, It is possible to install a separate 80M 1/4-wave wire at the same feedpoint to make a "parallel" or "fan" vertical. To make it work properly, the two wires should be separated

John, SWR is not the best criterion for determining the optimum number of radials. In fact if your impedance is 50ohms and no reactance you still have a lot of ground losses. I have a very similar an
