Guys I just got done installing a 40/20/15/10 meter vert as a ground plane,, mounted up at 15 Ft along side the top of my porch with 12 or so non tuned radials on the roof and WOW ,, flat on all the bands, with a SWR of under 1.2 to 1 and quite a DX antenna on 40 ran some coax up through the center if a Fiberglas pole to act as the 40 meter element and made PVC 8 inch stand offs mounted on the pole to hold the 20/10 meter element
so what I got for 130 bux is a better antenna than the Mighty Fine Junk stuff that is flat on all the bands with full band coverage and as there are no traps works as a general SW rcv antenna always heard that above ground radials work better than on the ground and at this location it plays very well Bob K3DJC Hello Mike. My EFHW vertical is resonant only at 20 meters. The *antenna* SWR is lousy everywhere else according to my MJF259 which stops reporting at 25:1. ____________________________________________________________ 53 Year Old Mom Looks 33 The Stunning Results of Her Wrinkle Trick Has Botox Doctors Worried http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/4ebed9df46e5a78f94m03vuc ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
