Here are some question for anyone with more tech skills than me; My compromise vertical at 8Q7BM is made of thin wire attached to a DX-Wire 15 meter glass fibre pole. The vertical wire goes all the w
Hi, Bjorn Well I would expect that moving the loading coil higher would be more beneficial than improving the top loading spokes, as it would move the high current portion of the antenna higher above
How much I can improve by moving the coil up. What improvement should I expect if center loading at about 7 meter? How about moving the coil all the way up to the top loading spokes? Is it worth the

Hi, Bjorn Well, I can't argue with JC. With my first ever inverted L for 160, I had similar experiences as did his friend, AA7JV with; submerged radials. In my case, the inverted L was on the dam of
One additional point about this that I might not have expressed in enough detail. When a top hat with significant capacitance compared to distributed capaciatnce along the radiator is involved, curre

The discussion is about the placement of an additional loading coil and its influence while the radiator is already loaded by a capacitance hat. So who spreads misinformation? Here we go again, Tom s
Yes no doubt, it seems if a persons personal agenda precedes their ability to read with any comprehension on this reflector so many times, here we go again. The discussion is about the placement of a

Thanks for all the input received. In short it seems like lifting the coil would not do much difference. Raising/increasing the angle of the top loading spokes might be the better option. Then of cou
