Hi Topbanders !!!;
Finally I got an FCP isolation transformer for 160m...I am planning install a
160m Inv L + FCP...I am wondering if I can add 80m to this system.
I know the 160m FCP isolation transformer only work on 160m but maybe adding a
relay is possible to work on 80m.
Any idea?
Hi,
I have a 5 elem 6m yagi...the boom is 15 ft long...
I have been reading about the Waller Flag...both version, Vertical and
Horizontal.
I would like add the WF to my 6m yagi or a single WF (one loop)...I know few
hams around the world did it and there is no interaction. (PY1RO, PY2XB,
etc)
Hi,
What is the Phone segment for EU stations on 75 meters?
I am tunning my 75/80m antenna for WAE SSB... it is very narrow (100 Khz), so,
I want to know the most active segment during contest...Resonance (SWR 1:1) on
3625 Khz now...Is it Ok or to low?...maybe can work split...
Thanks,

Hi,
Need some ideas from your side...
I am trying to find a good solution for my 160/80m antenna.
I am thinking about some kind of Inv L with an 80m trap as a radiator for both
bands.
But, what about the counterpoise...Unfortunately in my small city lot I can´t
install radials and I can´t
Hi Topbanders,
I am building an Inv L for 160m with FCP.
As i can get an isolation transformer i will add a series loading coil (about
17uH) to my FCP and then an RF choke.
How can i tune my FCP + Loading coil ??...i need a balance between FCP+Loading
coil and the Radiator.
Can i build 2 FCP

Hi Topbanders,
I have been reading the article "Compact 4 squares and other ways to get gain
on 40, 80 and 160m" written by K9RS and N9NB. It is very interesting.
Someone on the list with experience can answer few questions off the list.
I would like install something like that on low bands
Hi,
Read this article written by Rudy, N6LF:

Hi Rudy,
Maybe i am wrong but i think Jorge, CX6VM/CW5W has something similar for
160m.
Try contact him and ask about his experience.
I think he is member of this list.

Originally, the FCP is connected in the center (33ft each side for

Probably i will install my vertical in a corner of my property and some

Any sort of loop you can put in, will be a superior receiving antenna to
using your transmitting antenna.
Most of the simple loops have a terminating resistor that is 400
