Hey Folks,
I've read many articles, looked at tower talk, read W8JI's site...
I am moving to a new house, with 6 acres. It has 90+ foot pine trees to
the
north, south and west sides of the property. Location is southwestern NH.
I am going to put up a decent tower with Yagis, but that may not come this
summer -- my gals want horses first.
Anyway, I love wire antennas. I'm looking for gain on 160-10. I don't mind
lots of wire. I like broad pattern with good front-to-side and low angle.
I don't
care about more than single-band coverage for an antenna. I want to be
contest competitive.
Here's my thoughts:
10m Sterba curtains for NE/SW and NW/SE. (Should I, can I stack these?
Worth it?)
15-20 Stacked Lazy-H (anyone have a good reference for stacking info?)
for same directions
40: Thinking of switchable wire beams, wire 4-square or Lazy-H. Thoughts?
80: Wire 4-square.
160: Inverted L, 60' vertical, elevated radials.
-Gerry
