It has been empirically proven that a ground-mounted vertical with a dozen radials and an antenna matching unit (e.g., "tuner") is a much more effective antenna than a dipole up 1/2 wavelength on pap
Slightly off-topic for TT but beg your forebearance: I am really curious to know if anyone has ever tried phasing half squares as a pair of driven elements. What would the results be at 1/8 wavelengt
Again, apologies for being a little off topic. In my ongoing quest to get more for less, I'm planning to put a 40 meter Hamstick .15 wavelength south of my multiband vertical in an effort to get some
So I ran a ground wire from my 80 meter inverted L (60' up, 7' across) to my in-ground 30,000 gallon swimming pool and dropped the bare copper into the water. The total length of the path created is
Right-o, Don. And we recently spent beaucoup bucks replastering the pool! _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/m
Dan, Back in the mid-70s I had a Hy-Tower up at my then-midwestern QTH without the concrete base (but guyed) and it went over in a wind event (guys failed, obviously) and it landed on my neighbor's A
