[TowerTalk] HF2V with Elevated Mount - Experience?

[Ken Kinyon - W7TS]

Tom,
Everything you say about the MFJ antenna may well me true.  However the HF2V
is not bottom loaded on 80, only on 160, and it is essentially a  full
quarter wave on 40.  the loading on 80 if installed a recommended is both
center and top.
73, Ken

The HF2V is BASE loaded on 80M.
Base loading is the LEAST efficient
and provides the least bandwidth.

KZ4V found her HF2V to be quite
effective on 40M with 120 radials
but was NOT competitive on 80M.

The relatively new and unknown
MFJ 1792 80 / 40 vertical is full
size on 40M and has an isolating
coil and top hat for TOP loading
on 80M.  TOP loading is the
MOST efficient method of loading
provides the greatest bandwidth.
It is rated at 1500 W on 40M
and 1000 W on 80M.

I am impressed with both the
electrical and mechanical design
of the MFJ-1792.  To top it off,
it is reasonably priced at $160.
MFJ will send a free manual
on request.
I have no affiliation with MFJ.
