- In a recent ham magazine, there is an article about an HWV for 160m I am very interested in having an antenna for 160m, and in having a vertical for the low bands in general. If I were to build this

- Trent, the vertical will outperform the loop at 8'. I can send you plans for a vertical that works on 160, 80 and 40 meters. Simply feed with coax and it covers 20 kHz on 160 meters, 50 kHz on 80 met

- Trent, another solution that works well, is relatively inexpensive, and uses off-the-shelf components is the Hustler 5BTV vertical. It works on 10, 15, 20, 40, and 80 meters. Add a DX Engineering top

- This antenna idea is not new. My 1982 edition of the ARRL Antenna Book shows one on page 10-12. As I remember, the bandwidth is rather low, 10-15 KHz and it is at best a compromise antenna. At best,

- Craig you are right. A helical vertical will be out performed by a top loaded vertical. The top loaded short vertical will have higher radiation resistance resulting in a better signal. Designing and
