Okay, so I know this is not the best antenna in the world for the
Topband but... it's all I can deal with for now...
I'm thinking that if BPL is passed I might as well go for 160 now and
get my licks in while I can.
So I'm wondering how poorly the antenna will perform if the legs aren't
totally in a straight line - I will have to angle one of the legs a bit
to fit it on my property. Looking at a face of a clock with the center
of the dial being the balun and the hands being the runs of the wire
from the balun it will have a 7:00 o'clock shape. I feel like i'm
missing out on a lot of fun on 160 and want to give it a try before the
winter weather begins to set in and be unable to get on the roof to hang
the antenna.
I guess i'm wondering if i'm wasting my time with an antenna like this
or if it sounds like it might work halfway decent.
thanks!
