Hi Gang,
More questions for the shack rebuild
As you saw from my previous posts, I have 10-40m covered fairly well (well,
except 30m - and no real interest there)
The issue is 80m
As I said before, I have a SMALL NYC lot (42x98), with the house set in the
middle, and NOTHING for support in the front - I probably have a MAX length of
50 ft if I go diagonally across the back yard
Right now I have an old TV Evans 17/80 trapped dipole up for 80m, and it barely
fits (when the new antennas go up, I'll be able to raise that - a LOT, but
it'll still be low and short)
The question is - what to do for 80m?
I COULD put up say an HF2V, but the radial field will be all in one direction,
and a friend who has one says the noise here in NYC is insane (and it would
have to wait till the new driveway would go in - the radials will go under the
new driveway)
Anyone have other ideas? Is the HF2V the way to go in my situation?
Thanks
