I am trying to get my ham shack back together after Hurricane Katrina destroyed it. Bought the above anatenna. I went out back today to lay it out on the ground trying to avoid the trees. The best position still had a tall water oak, about 12" in diameter about 6 inches from the antenna, about 20' from the balun, on the long side. It's 136 feet long, about 100 on one side, the remainder on the other. Would it be worth trying to move the balun(feedpoint) closer to this tree? Just how much will this affect my antenna? Yes, there are trees further away from it, I have a wooded backyard. So much for an open field. It runs NE to SW.
Thanks. Bill Striegel KE5UD Ocean Springs, MS _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
