Colleagues, I have to live with CC&R homeowner restrictions. I plan to erect a disguise wire antenna around the perimeter of my roof; total length will be about 190 feet. Elevation will be about 20 feet above ground and will be fed with 150 ohm twin lead.*
My question is: Should this be a continuous loop or should the point opposed the feedline be terminated with an insulator, thus giving two 95-foot legs? 73, Jeff KH6O Naval Air Staiton Point Mugu, CA * 150 ohm twin lead: It consists of two parallel lengths of 75 ohm TV coax with the copper braids soldered together at each end; the inner conductors act as a parallel feedline. See the ARRL Antenna Book, August 2000 edition, for details. _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
