If you decide to go with this antenna, make sure you consider effects of
the vertical supports. We ended up de-tuning our 140-foot towers.

A DXCC rule change to allow shared use of a low band RX site that is located
within a specified distance of the main station makes sense to me.
My station hears OK, not top tier by any means, but we work our share when the
local power lines behave. For the last month, I have had a single sour
, and produced a very solid, workable copy on the DX. Laid the
antenna down one day, worked KH1 on 160 the next day and on 80 the day after
that, then took up the wire and went back to mowing!

That loop might do better for DX if you fed it 1/2 way up one end.

Hi, Jorge
I'll send you a link to the KP1/KP5 website where you can find the
operators' list and photos. What would be good for you folks in SA would be

rear!

I've had very good success with 16 ga stranded with black insulation for
radials! Seems to hold up well and not very obtrusive or noticeable. Last
time I got some, I also got a 1000' spool.

termine from whom they source
their "Dacron" rope! My experience has been more like Tom's and Pat's. I
won't use anything else on my antennas! Back in the 1980s Synthetic
Textiles was running ads in QST and I bought mine directly from the mfr. I
can't wear it out!
r! That was 1987, and I've continued to use those
batches of Dacron rope ever since! I just use and reuse the same lines!
They've been out in the sun and weather for the past 17 years with no
