and a 60 foot tower in a line to Europe.If I take a rope and go from the
silo to the tower and hang an inverted vee and 35 feet back cut another one
5% longer would that work.I have an inverted vee up there now and it works
OK but.....I know its really not high enough but is it worth the trouble?It
would be just for this winter as next summer I hope to put a insulated tower
for 80/160.I have plenty of room between the silo and tower,could maybe even
do 3 or 4 elements.
My advice? Give it a try and see what happens. Antennas are fun to
experiment with. If you don't like it - try another one.
This also goes along with an LXC Directive to "Go with what you've got!".
