Not sure I want to try 160M with my butternut. It's elevated 20' with
6 radials for 10,15,20 & 40 and two radials for 80. Not exactly great
for DX with no radials on 160 but I'm right on the ocean so it's
worth trying something as I only have 58 confirmed on 160.
Anyone know a homebrew way of Adding 160 to this antenna that
wouldn't require taking it down?
If worse comes to worse I can use a shortened loop antenna with vac
variable & servos to get there (did that giving me most of the 58
confirmed when I was living in Illinois). It would be more convenient
having everything on the butternut.
The upside of the short loop was: I had full 160 coverage at 1:1 at
full legal output.
Downside: the extra control wires, coax & need for an antenna switch.
Thanks,
Gary
