I'm really enjoying this thread. I, too will have to make a decision on how to
best utilize my 106' crank up for 160m. The consensus seems to be an Inv L
with radials.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I have also been planning my own Beverage antenna. My situation will only allow
for a BOG which will be bidirectional and >600' long.
I plan to use the DXE kit, specifically designed for ladder line. My
understanding is that 600' would be too long for a BOG on 160m. Though 160 is

Jon,
I have three crank-up towers spaced 35' apart. Tower #1 is 89' plus 20' mast,
with some antenna top loading. Tower#2 is 70' crank up with 20' mast with
minimal antenna too loading. Tower #3 is 106' crank with 20' mast plus top
loading.
What kind of separation is needed for 2 ele array?
Has anybody snaked a wire up a tall tree trunk to make an Inv L?
Any interaction? Success?? Has to be stealthy because the tree os my
neighbor's :-)
Thanks,

Greetings,
I have four choices for a TX antenna on 160m. Your input as to which would
work best would be greatly appreciated.
1) Shunt fed 106' crank-up tower with some top loading from a Steppir DB-36
plus VHF antennas on a 20' mast.
2. Shunt fed 89' crank-up tower with a multi band HF

Greetings,
I am contemplating a Butternut HF2V for a rooftop installation. I need to keep
this low profile. I will be able to add some top loading and decent radials.
Height will be about 30’.
Worthwhile? Thoughts appreciated.

I plan to lay down a BOG that is approx 600’. I realize the ideal length for a
160 BOG is about 200’. But I also enjoy BCB DX so a longer one will work better
for that.
Should I also use the 600’ BOG for 160 or lay down a separate shorter one for
160? I would run parallel approx 2-3 feet
That's good news. I am in Saudi Arabia on a small lot. My plan is to use my
ladderline-fed Cobra Ultralite dipole (73' long), tying the 100' ladderline
together, making a T. Will load it against a decent ground via a wide range
tuner.
Thoughts?
Thanks,

I am certain the tributes will begin pouring in soon. Suffice it to say that I
always enjoyed reading his low band books. Truly genius. RIP John and thank
you for your contributions to our hobby.

Greetings,
I am getting clobbered by a local BCB transmitter, making 160M unusable, even
with a dedicated RX antenna.
As for filters, I have narrowed it down to the ICE and the Kiwa. Kiwa seems to
be the more serious filter, as they publish their specs in great detail. ICE
does not.

Nicely done, Mark. Plan to get ferrites.

Thank you all for your recommendations. Leaning towards this filter below. Any
objections before I pull the trigger?

Anybody on the list use one of these? Having difficulty with setting up mine.
Some help would be awesome.

Any good? If not this one, which preamp would you recommend for a BOG antenna?

Sorry. Meant RPA 1 or 2.

To clarify, the remote tuner is for random wires.

I have a 30' roof tower on my 25' roof. Have considered the Alpha Delta DX-A
which constitutes two sloping wires: one is 67' and the other is 60' fed with
coax at the top of the tower with top loading derived from yagis.
Rather than to buy one, was thinking of having the same two lengths of
