I would like to ask the Top Band Group -
tap into the Top Band BRAIN TRUST .
Given a small one or two man DXpedition
to a tree-less location , what vertical antenna
would be serviceable to install ? Not too
difficult to transport , and survive big winds?
top loaded, bottom loaded vertical say
40 ft tall ? Any ideas for ULTRA lightness?
Any ideas on designs ? I really like the
design Gary Breed put together - basically
two inverted Ls with 48 ft mast ( bottom metal
tubing, top fiberglass sections ) - this is dual
band 160/ 80 and given radials OR salt water
will do well on TX. It breaks down pretty
well .
Any feedback would be useful -
One destination might be a very WINDY
zone 2 install .
