[DX-CHAT] Antenna for 30m?

[Barry]

I currently have no antennas for the WARC bands (30,17 and 12.)  On 
occasion, I use my 80m slopers on 30m and my 40m Yagi on 17 and 12.  
They work, but not well.


Looking a propagation into BS7H-land, looks like 30m may be the best 
shot from the east coast, so I'm thinking maybe I should put up a 
temporary antenna for that band.  I don't want anything permanent as it 
would mess up the pattern of my tribander stack.


I have a single tower with multiple TH7s, a 2 el 40 at the top, and a 
bunch of wires for 80 and 160.  There are no trees anywhere near the 
tower.  Any suggestions on what my best option would be for a temporary 
30m antenna fed with coax?   Inv vee?  1/2 wave sloper?


Tnx,
Barry

I have had good luck with the Cushcraft D3W which is a single element alum. 
tubing and traps antenna for all three WARC bands in one antenna.  It mounts 
at the center and thus can be rotated easily or mated with other beams on a 
mast.  I used mine on VU4 with good results (with the DX gain added, of 
course).


I highly recommend it as a simple and effective ant.  73
