Hello David: This is an interesting question - and my love for the HyTower antenna design promoted me to do a quick Google search for "plans for NDB transmitting antennas". This search yielded a ton of information. Some of it looks very useful as you think about a possible design for your LF RX antenna.
I used "transmitting" in the search so the results might more closely apply to your possible HyTower modification. 73, Tim K3LR -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Michael Gaytko // WD4KPD Sent: Sunday, January 08, 2012 12:36 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Topband: hygain hytower seeking any info on loading the hygain hytower vert antenna up on 500kc/136kc, (works FB on 160m with base coil) will be for RX only. if you have done either pse email. to top load a vert, must the hat radials emanate from the peak? the construction of the hytower makes this impossible; i can however easily connect at the top of the tower section. david/wd4kpd -- God's law is set in stone...everything else is negotiable. _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
