Has anyone ever experimented with a full wave BCB dipole? I just got a 980 ft
dipole done today with ladder line as a lead in, it is from 30-60 ft in the
air. This was a MAJOR undertaking as it runs through the woods behind my
father's home. I couldn't have gotten it done without help. It is oriented
roughly N-S. I don't notice much difference in signal strength near the top of
the band as would be expected but down in the bottom I am getting much more
signal. Tonight doesn't seem to be a very good night for low band TA's however.
If anyone's interested I'll post some results over the next few weeks. I've
always wanted to build a ridiculous antenna and there is just enough room in
the woods behind his house where I am staying now. I may build another one for
phasing purposes.
