Well now that I have my 10 - 20 up and operational, I am starting to
think about getting some stuff on 40 & 80. Last Field Day a friend and I
erected a 2 element inverted v wire beam. It seemed to work well, but
There was no way we could get any good test results on it. I know people
have been successful putting up wire beams in the past, I was wondering
if any of you antenna experts with more years experience than I could
give some suggestions. What is the overall opinion of doing this with
inverted vee elements? Does it still function like a beam with v
elements or does it tend to be a complete waste of time? Second
question how far down the tower would be a good place to mount the 80
dipole so either of them will not effect the other. Any and all
suggestions would be gladly accepted and much appreciated.
Thanks and 73
