I just posted my results with a Zero-Five 43 foot vertical, used as an Inverted-L for 160. As-is, the 43 footer will work 160, but only out to about 1000 or so miles with 100 watts, over land (to the east from Ireland), and I could only work the USA east coast across the sea. Adding the 90 feet of wire run to a 33 foot support (a defunct BigIR) to make the L, got me out to 3500 miles to the east, and well into zone 4 in the USA. 73 barry, EI/W5GN _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk |
