I am using a shunt fed Rohn 45 tower for topband. Presently I have one #12 copper wire 24" from one corner of the tower as the shunt. I would like to try to increase the bandwidth. Presently the towe

Quoting "N2TK, Tony" <tony.kaz@verizon.net>: Yes indeed Tony...the cage feed will increase the BW significantly. An easy way to make a cage is to just drop wire from the towers top guy wires using in

To add to my earlier post the cage in my case is only supported by guy wires insulated from the tower. The wire skirt tap point in my case is at 41 feet with an A3 at the top of the Rohn 45 tower. I

If we add a second conductor spaced well away from the first, the unit-length inductance is reduced anv BW is increased. At the same time voltage across the capacitor is reduced, and bandwidth is inc

KV4FZ: increase B/W. I wonder if two conductors will obtain the "shielded from the outside world" effect referred to above? Does it make any difference? Changed my mind since it's not clear to me it

conductor shunt feed to "shielded from the difference? It makes no difference at all. A basic principle of RF is that common mode current always moves to the outside area of a conductor. The effect

would Would A "wider" shunt might increase BW, because it is certainly part of the overall selectivity or Q of the array. At some point, however, the parasitic elements will dominate the bandwidth.

Herb, my suspicion is that two drop wires will act more like a folded dipole than acting like a full skirt... I expect it will take a minimum of three wires at 120 degree spacing to begin to act lik
