Does anybody have any design and/or construction information on a pair
short vertical antennas without tophats or guys (but posibly with
amplification at each antenna) for receiving on 160m? I am looking for a
system that will give me more directivity and less high angle response than
the small loop I am using. I hope to get a pair of antennas that can be
easily moved around my yard (120 x 120 ft) to point in the direction of a
desired DX station. I do not do contests so taking 10 or 15 minutes to
change directions is not too high a price to pay, in a noisy urban
environment, for better reception of a rare DX station.
Any information and comments would be greatly appreciated.
