[TowerTalk] 80 Meter yagi question

[Bob K6UJ]

Hi John,I'm assuming you want a loaded shortened dipole.
I would suggest contacting JK Antennas and ask Ken to fab two of his loading coilsfor a shortened 80M rotary dipole.  His loading coils are outstanding.  Made with solid 
aluminum rod, not tubing, and the connector blocks on the end of the coils are welded on.Less connection worries.  Take a look on his website at how he makes these loading 
coils, very impressive.   For that matter ask him about a complete 80M rotatable 
dipole if you aren't making one yourself.
I wish my tower would handle an 80M dipole along with the existing load or I would 
be thinking of doing an 80M dipole too.I have a 4EL 20M yagi at 108 ft  and a 3EL 40M yagi at 96 ft.  That will be my upperband antennas during the low sunspot cycle years.   I have an 80/160 dual band 
inverted L to cover these bands.

So my Virginia towers are almost completed and most of the antennas are ready to install. I am thinking of adding a rotatable 80 meter yagi on one tower. Any suggestions?
