Hi Walt, For scanning ALE, I'm using a broadband dipole of my own design... it is not an infamous T2FD. Although the T2FD is OK for ALE work, it is not well-suited to my neighborhood or the available space :)
I have two HF stations running simultaneously here... after linking with the low power scanning ALE system, I often switch over to my QRO rig for QSO. The QRO rig is also set up for ALE and digital texting modes. For more info on the broadband HF antenna, see my Coaxial Antenna System, Patent #7151497. http://www.uspto.gov/web/patents/patog/week51/OG/html/1313-3/US07151497-20061219.html or http://shorterlink.com/?1OASQ3 Bonnie KQ6XA --- In [email protected], Walt DuBose <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Bonnie, > > You didn't opt of the T2DF dummyload antenna did you? > > With 175ft of space for an antenna, and two 150ft towers, I can tell you how to > make one heck of a gain and wide bandwidth antenna with NVIS as well and some > pretty fine low angle radiation for 80-10M.
