Susan Said: the antenna farm will most likely be vertical and located right at the shore line.
What suggestions do you have for me to construct for antennas? ________ I had very good luck with a Force 12 Sigma 5, a CENTRE-FED inductively loaded short half-wave vertical [i.e., a short centre-fed dipole tipped up on one end ] on the Bay of Bengal shoreline. It being a centre-fed half-wave, not an end-fed quarter-wave, I didn't have to worry about an efficient ground-plane,so no lossy radials, and on the shoreline of salt water it really got out. Very good reports with a K2 at 10w. It also fits into a gym bag. I think a Caribbean DXpedition also used similar antennas and K2s near salt water. eric VA7DZ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
