I'm seeking advice regarding the 43' verticals I see advertised, both from MFJ and DX egineering. While regional babbling on 75 and 160M is not my primary purpose year-round, I do like to chat with f

Barry, A well designed vertical can be an excellent antenna for longer distance night time QSOs or close-in daytime ground wave QSOs on 80 and 160 meters; but its hard to beat a low, horizontally pol

I am very pleased with my 43 foot vertical for regional and even close in contacts. I am making contacts I could not before. I agree, however, that having a horizontal wire antenna can be helpful for

Funny we just had this same hot topic on our local contesting club reflector. They might be better than what you had but IMHO they can't be very good for 80/160. I wish there were some short miracle

Try the HY-Gain Hy-Tower.......I work Europe every night easily on 80mtrs. No tuner....no coils...no caps. Only a DXE ground plate for the radials and a DXE current balun at the base of the antenna.

I am thrilled with the 80 meter performance of MY 43 foot DX_Engineering vertical antenna. Even better on 40 M I am finally a big signal on many nets where before I was told they could barely hear me

For receiving or transmitting? For Rx, height's not all that important (well.. clearly there's a difference between a 120foot stick and a 8 foot whip, but between a 8 foot whip and a 43 foot mast, I'

Helically loaded antennas have been around a long time, and keep popping up (see, e.g. the Univ of Rhode Island guy).. Unless you're using BIG wire, odds are, for the same physical size, your losses

I have one of those still in a box and one that was trashed by our horses. They get out ok. Very very very narrow bandwidth. The coil is pretty small. "A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a

I am not sure what you mean by this... as the Cushcraft MA-160V is only 30 to 36 feet tall (adjustable stinger) and only has a 40 kHz bandwidth on 160 meters. The 43 footer is taller, and can be work

With miserable efficiency! The MA-160V could easily be substantially better, given the coax and balun losses inherent in the 43 foot vertical approach, even though, as you point out, the MA-160V is s

I'll nominate N7JW as an array expert, and he uses 57 foot high verticals for his big 160 meter array on 160 acres. It has a lot of gain but is VERY narrow band. Rick N6RK ___________________________

I tend to agree, Dan. Off the cuff, I would expect a 43 ft radiator with no top loading to have a radiation resistance of 2 to 3 ohms. This would produce acceptable results if you have a really good
