On advise from Steve VK6VZ and Phil VK6GX, I recently joined this reflector.
Thought I would repost an inquiry that I placed on another forum to see how it
works.
Looking for advise.
I am working on my station for 160/80 meters. In 53 years, only a handful of
contacts on those bands. I have recently put up a full 1/4 wavelength
vertical for 80 meters. I will use a base loading coil for 160 m. I am now
considering a separate receiving antenna. I don't have the property or
terrain for a full above ground beverage, but do have the necessary space for a
couple of beverage on ground antennas in the range of 200-220 feet long (61-67
meters). One situated EU and one situated JA.
My question is what happens when I get 3-6 feet (1-2 meters) of snow on top of
the Beverage on ground. Will it still function. Change relative to matching.
Anyone have any experience with significant amounts of snow on one of these
antennas and how it performed
Thanks in Advance
161
