1. Topband: Inverted L SWR Jumps ??? (score: 1)
Author: Ashton Lee <Ashton.R.Lee@hotmail.com>

So I am trying to get set up better on 160 meters. I now have two antennas up (pretty well separated). One is an Alpha Delta DX A sloper hung in a tree with a grounding wire led to a ground rod and s

Ok, everyone thanks for all the help. I rebuilt the antenna from new wire, built a two insulator termination at the end of the horizontal section where the high voltage is, I rehung the new antenna s

No, I didn't spill my beer. But I am having very good experience with the roughly 300 foot Beverage on Ground that I just put in at my house. It is fed through a 300 ohm transformer and runs in the o

I do this with great success. Just put the longest wire you can (up to 85 feet) and run it as horizontal as you can. I assume you already load your antenna through an unun, So shorter than 85 feet wi

I don't know about the Gaps, but a 43' vertical fed through a 4:1 unun works very well for me on 40-10 meters on a remote hilltop. On 80 and 160 I simply top load it with a long wire. When not in use

This wonderful article written by L.B.Cebic W4RNL sure can make you a believer in a simple wire inverted L. It is the last antenna discussed. http://www.users.on.net/~bcr/files/backyard%20wire%20ante

So here's a question. I have a vertical mounted on a cliff side that performs incredibly. My amateur's approach to figuring out why is that I modeled it in EZNEC as being elevated 400 feet. That show

What I can add from personal experience is that a vertical dipole (center fed half wave) without radials, on a rocky cliff top is an absolute killer antenna on the upper HF bands. My vertical dipole

Let's not lose the fact that contests on 160 are events as much as contests they are times when an otherwise barren band fills up. There's a lot of fun just in working all you can. Those of us in dee

I don't believe that the off center top loading will have a huge effect if you feed it as a T, vs a symmetric T Theory would say that a ground fed T against even 3-4 radials will have a lower DX angl

I have the Wellbrook at 2 QTHs and it works way better than using a transmit antenna on receive. It also works very well early in the evening when signals are still iffy and coming in at all angles.

When you use antenna modeling software to look at a low dipole on 160 you note three things: 1) They are extremely high angle radiators and 2) Raising the height from say 10 feet to say 100 feet has

The issue I believe is that many peoples 160 antennas are limited in frequency breadth. There is really just one SSB contest. _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/

The 43 foot antennas are very short (low inductance, poor efficiency) on 160. Only my very best tuners will tune them and tuning doesnt make them efficient, it only makes them not destroy the radio w
