To amplify a little on some other comments - For an Inv L, and a decent
radial system, with a coil shorted across (shunt) the vertical wire
input to the braid/radials, the otherwise low impedance can be
transformed to 50 ohms. One way to do it is to use an antenna analyzer
to measure the
My previous request for suggestions for a relatively
simple/transportable TB ant got some responses that have been
incorporated into a design and construction that might be useful to
others. It is a dual band 160/80 trapped vertical/T with two load top
wires and two elevated gull wing radials
So gently getting back to the topic of the original post which was:
Getting thoughts on relatively simple and relatively inexpensive
portable 160 m antenna, potentially deployable by one person, that
allows for flexibility and somewhat predictable tuning for use on modest
Dxpeds or rare
The plan is to develop a simple, relatively inexpensive, relatively
light weight and shippable/airline transportable 160 antenna kit for one
man quick deployment for modest DXpeditions or contributed for use by
resident hams in rare-ish (for 160 m) locations.The ability to make
adjustments to
