I had a bad case of Lyme Disease in 2017, and am still taking meds. The doctor was thrilled with my recent bloodwork and figures that I have an almost clean slate. I am feeling great for the first time since 2016! The bad news was the appointment was right at sunset so no listening for LP. I am contemplating a low wire antenna. I just need to find a good spot away from all the beverages. You can't have too many antennas.

However, we routinely can recommend nesting a 160 meter and 80 meter version of 8 element high impedance receiving arrays (200 and 100 foot diameter) as we have also not seen serious mutual impedance affects. RDF or directivity with any close physically long pseudo element like power wires or resonant element comes with a price on top band for sure. My conclusion at that time was that a single antenna with greater than 13.5 dB RDF was not likely to work at most ham radio sites due to interaction with something. However, phasing two lesser-compromised high RDF antennas is working well providing modelled and anecdotally observed RDF of 15 dB (Where is the government budget when we need it). Fortunately even with some pattern or RDF compromising inter ference a good receiving antenna remains much better than most simple transmitting antennas for low noise receiving. Lee K7TJR OR Corollary: You can't have too many antennas except when they interfere with each other which they often do on Topband where a wavelength is approximately 500 feet... Even on 20 meters, the pattern of a Yagi is noticeably degraded when it points through another 20 meter Yagi or tribander 500 feet distant or more. Fortunately most Topband receiving antennas don't interfere with each other -- except at extremely close spacing -- because their mutual impedance is negligible. But transmitting antennas and other antenna-like radiators such as power lines -- even 1000 feet away or more -- can significantly degrade the directivity of Topband receiving antennas. 73 Frank W3LPL ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2018 15:32:37 -0500 From: <[email protected]> To: "'topband'" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Topband: ARRL DXCC - 160 Meters Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I never heard him on any band but he must be very active on EME ARRL DXCC - 2 Meters -151 OK1YQ http://www.arrl.org/system/dxcc/view/DXCC-2M-20181116-USLetter.pdf 73's JC N4IS -----Original Message----- From: Topband <[email protected]> On Behalf Of uy0zg Sent: Friday, November 16, 2018 1:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Topband: ARRL DXCC - 160 Meters ARRL DXCC - 160 Meters -339 OK1YQ .....

If you can get up an inverted-V or flat-top dipole at 60 to 120 feet and feed it with open wire that runs away from the antenna feedpoint vertically, the feeders can be switched at ground level (using a double pole vacuum relay or similar) so they are shorted and fed against a counterpoise/ground system, with a separate coax feeder/matching unit. For many years an east coast VK friend used this system, where he had a ?shallow? inverted vee 160m doublet about 90 feet high and took the open wire feed to ground. The inverted vee made a great capacity hat to the shorted open wire feeder/vertical radiator and I think he used to tune this against his ground system using an L-network or a series capacitor I also recall KK4TR ? and several others ? successfully using similar antennas. Vy 73 Steve, VK6VZ --------------- Corollary: You can't have too many antennas except when they interfere with each other which they often do on Topband where a wavelength is approximately 500 feet... Even on 20 meters, the pattern of a Yagi is noticeably degraded when it points through another 20 meter Yagi or tribander 500 feet distant or more. Fortunately most Topband receiving antennas don't interfere with each other -- except at extremely close spacing -- because their mutual impedance is negligible. But transmitting antennas and other antenna-like radiators such as power lines -- even 1000 feet away or more -- can significantly degrade the directivity of Topband receiving antennas. 73 Frank W3LPL --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ------------------------------ Message: 18 Date: Sat, 17 Nov 2018 10:04:33 -0000 From: "Clive GM3POI" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>, <[email protected]>, <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Topband: ARRL DXCC - 160 Meters Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Doesn't say much for the DXCC checking process either. 73 Clive GM3POI -----Original Message----- From: Topband [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of k1zm--- via Topband Sent: 17 November 2018 08:16 To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: Topband: ARRL DXCC - 160 Meters hmmmmm Why would anyone with a LEGITIMATE 339 DXCC entities made on 160m made as licensed station OK1RD submit a DXCC total as CALLSIGN OK1YQ?
