Trying to figure out how to best utilize my 106' tower for 160m. The tower sits on a small hill so the downside of the tower is sloping. If I hang a wire off the top, I can bring the other end to the

I used to use a similar method on 80 meters. Why not feed it (them) at the top? Jim - KR9U tower sits on a small hill so the downside of the tower is sloping. If I hang a wire off the top, I can brin
Do a sloper (half WL) and feed in the center. Half of one of the half go to the other side, like an inverted V 73, Jorge CX6VM/CW5W Enviado desde mi iPhone _________________ Topband Reflector Archive
That would be a pretty low dipole on 160M, and verticals tend to be far more effective on 160M than low dipoles. 73, Jim K9YC _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/

Jorge, I have a 160m antenna asymmetrical antenna, fed against ground, that goes from one corner of my 120 ft by 120 ft lot to the opposite corner. It is held up by a single pole, about 55 ft tall. T
Hi Ed - I have done the same thing on 80/75 meters with great results using a tree and a sling shot to get the wire up. Used chicken wire for the ground system. Did this the first time from an apartm
More likely it was a mix of groundwave and sky wave, if the station was local, cancelling or reinforcing signal as phase shifted on the sky wave path. Years ago in Northern California, as an experime
Multi-path was my thought as well! Merry Christmas! 73, Charlie, K4OTV More likely it was a mix of groundwave and sky wave, if the station was local, cancelling or reinforcing signal as phase shifted
