Re: Topband: Ideas for xmit antennas for new QTH in KH6

Is there anyway you can put a slip ring to support a T antenna (Marconi) for 160 and 80 at some height that won't snag the beam elements? Herb, KV4FZ On 12/9/2015 6:34 PM, Cqtestk4xs--- via Topband wrote: Next year I'll be building a new home and station in Hawaii. 40 through 6 meters is

Topband: Ideas for xmit antennas for new QTH in KH6

Next year I'll be building a new home and station in Hawaii. 40 through 6 meters is already set in stone, but 80 and 160 are still cloudy. Here's the setup: I'm allowed one tower maximum 90 ft. The tower will be 90 ft of Rohn 55 using a K0XG rotating system with two rings. It will be

You guys have inspired me. I am going to try the same thing. I have toyed with the idea of a T-top and will try it too.Please give feedback on how it goes, I will too. Bob K6UJ On 12/9/15 4:52 PM, Jim Brown wrote: On Wed,12/9/2015 2:34 PM, Cqtestk4xs--- via Topband wrote: On 160 I'm

Re: Topband: [Topband] Ideas for xmit antennas for new QTH in KH6

Your tower is probably close to resonant on 160m. When I have modeled a wire vertical near my 150' tower, the tower acted as a reflector. You may be able to get a little gain in a desired direction if you lay it out correctly and model the system. Also an inverted L will give slight directivity.
