Hello Fellow Top Banders, Does anyone have an opinion as to which of two antennas would be more efficient, assuming the same ground system (8 elevated radials) : 1. 60 Foot Base Loaded Tapered Aluminum Vertical (3" - 3/4") with a base loading coil (Air Core/8" in diameter) made of 1/4" copper tubing with turns spaced about 1/4" apart; or, 2. A helically wound vertical, a la the recent QST article? Any thoughts would be appreciated. 73, Bob/AA6VB _______________________________________________ Topband mailing list Topband@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/topband |
