Hi there
Any advice for me ?
I have a 23m Tower with a KLM-KT34XA on top.
I have installed a W7DD-Style 80m 4-Square (Comtek) around it.
For 40m I will install 4 sloping Dipoles like in the ARRL Antenna book 6-30
K1WA ( Dipoles with 36feet Koax, act as reflector when left open).
I know I have to detune the tower to make it invisible for the 80m array.
What is the (probably) best way to go ? ( I still need Antenna for 160m)
Shunt feed the tower for 160m ?
Where should the Omega-Wire be tapped to the mast ? Is it OK in the middle (
12m) or will there be an advantage when connecting it to the top of the tower
( 23m). I have it now connected at around 12m and got it to resonate on 160m.
Is it so much better to have this "fat" wire ( tower) instead of a thin copper
wire ?
Or is it easier/better to hang a top loaded Wire 1m beside the tower, and use 4
elevated radials as a Top Band antenna ?
( while the tower shunt fed for 30m to be QRV there and make it unvisible for
the 80m Array. )
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance.
