[TowerTalk] Wire Antenna Dilemma...Help me decide

[Eric Hilding]

Ed, NI6S, had inquired about wire antennas.

 

Regarding a dipole, why don't you use Dean Straw's HFTA program *BEFORE*
arbitrarily selecting a height-above-ground, so you can base your decisions
on *YOUR* actual terrain situation there and what your communication path
objectives are (DX, Domestic, etc.).

 

HFTA is a slick widget, and could use it for 2 or 3el "wire" yagis as well.

 

FWIW & 73.
