Gene Can you tell us what linear dimensions your attic would have for potential dipoles? They also work at nonresonant lengths, and work quite well.
At frequencies above their resonant length they can actually contribute some gain. Height above ground will be a bigger factor, in that for freqs below the resonant freq, you will find your major lobe pretty much straight up. But it will be a fat lob, and work out to a distance as well, just not as well as a dipole up over a quarterwavelength on the band in use. 73, Bob N6WG -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Gene Worth Sent: Monday, April 11, 2005 6:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] Non-resonant attic loop I'm needing to install an antenna in my new home. An attic loop is a necessity ... can't run an outside wire easily. I'm assuming that an 88-ft loop will be non-resonant in all bands 80-10, and fed with ladder line to the tuner should work. Other suggestions? Thanks. gene KC0RXY soon /9 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
