Buy, beg, borrow or ste.... ummm locate a copy of Les Moxon's, G6XN (SK), book "HF Antennas for All Locations". He provides some options that are worth considering. The book covers a lot of possibilities for "small gardens", typical in the UK and US.
Don't buy into the 43' vertical hype. It's a good compromise antenna with limitations, particularly on 160/80/75 where top loading would be a much better option. For the money, a Hustler 5 BTV Antenna, 80-75/40/20/15/10M, HUS-5BTV, also available from DXE is a good buy. If you find out you don't like the way the vertical works, you haven't just dumped $800. The other nice thing about the Hustler, is it makes a good platform to "build your own" on, down the road. 73, Julius n2wn ----- Julius Fazekas N2WN Tennessee Contest Group http://www.k4ro.net/tcg/index.html Tennessee QSO Party http://www.tnqp.org/ Elecraft K2/100 #4455 Elecraft K3/100 #366 Elecraft K3 #1875 -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Question-about-vertical-and-radial-placement-tp4572326p4575391.html Sent from the [HAM] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
