To improve the bandwidth, I was wondering about going to a 2-wire “cage” for the vertical section. Hi Kenny,I added a second wire to my Tee many years ago; at first the vertical section was about 80 ft, now it's closer to 100 ft. My spacers are sort of random, on the order of 8-12 inches. It did, indeed, increase the SWR bandwidth. I'm using a lot of on-ground radials of varying lengths. 73, Jim K9YC _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector |
