John Langdon N5CQ will be giving a GREAT antenna presentation
this coming weekend at the W5 DX BASH on his new antenna system.
Details and information on the BASH are located at
www.dxer.org/w5bash
Here is a brief summary of the antenna system at N5CQ:
>"N5CQ tries to cover all the angles and all the bands on a single tower
>with a stack of six Force 12 tribanders on Rohn 55G rotated with RTS
>components. Three pairs are fed with 3 "Mini Stack Match" transformers and
>a Stack Match control unit on 20, 15 and 10 meters, allowing selection of
>any pair, any two pairs, or all three pairs. Three of the antennas are
>C3's (at 35, 95, and 125 feet) and three are C4XL's (at 65, 125, and 195
>feet). The three C4XL's also incorporate interlaced 2 element "shorty
>forty" sections which are fed with separate feed lines and another Stack
>Match. Also on the tower are a WARC-7 beam for 30, 17, and 12 meters at
>about 105 feet, a 2 element linear loaded 80M Force 12 Magnum 280C at 185
>feet, and a 160M sloper. The installation is in the hill country west of
>Austin, Texas."
Come join us at the BASH and see the presentation on this new antenna
system.
