Topband: Longwire at CP4BT

[Keith Jillings (G3OIT)]

I replied to Bill's request yesterday, with a direct copy to CP4BT.

Claus received it, and we've had an exchange since - but the Reflector 
version hasn't appeared.   I suppose I'm doing something wrong again :(

When I have more details of Claus's antenna layout and his options, I'll 
post them back in here.  His present antenna is a 78m wire, suspended 
from the church tower and crossing to the cliffs behind.  I think (not 
sure yet) the feed end is at or close to ground level, so it's something 
like an inverted L half-wave.   I've suggested feeding it with a 
matching unit at the antenna, not with coax from a matching unit in the 
shack.

I'm happy to translate to and from German;  the collected wisdom of the 
reflector will be invaluable when we have the details of his setup.
