Hello,
I like to improve my top band RX for the next season, so I have been reading
some literature regarding 160 meters RX antennas theory and I have question
for the experts.
I don't have the required space for a beverage since I'm a city dweller, but
I can mage to build a L shape horizontal dipole placed 6 feet above ground,
it will be a center fed full size +- 260 feet in length dipole with one arm
+- 130 feet and the second arm in a L shape of 34 feet and 96 feet. See
diagram.
This side is will be to the north/south
----------------------------------------------\/------------------------
130 feet 34
feet |
| This side will be east/west
|
|
| 96 feet
|
|
|
|
All section will be in the horizontal plane
Could a dipole fashioned in the above configuration and placed 6 feet above
ground be a some what decent 160 meters RX antenna?
For TX I will continue using my 1/4 wave sloper (inverted L) that has
performed very well the last 2 years and has permitted me to work the US, EU
and Asiatic Russia with 10/100 watts.
Other suggestions that my fit my limited space are welcome
Have a nice day
