[600MRG] Almost QRV

[Neil Klagge]

Hi Gedas.
I wouldn't be surprised if your vertical with that top loading would surpass the inverted V. Looking forward to learning what you discover when you get it on the air.

Some good news. After a year off of 630m I decided to replace my 600'
Inv-V antenna with a different antenna and I am almost done with it. The
Inv-V was a ton of fun to design, build, and operate but this time I
thought I would try a vertically polarized antenna.

Over the last several weeks I was able to salvage the aluminum wire and
loading coil from the Inv-V and turned it into a traditional Inv-L. It
won't be anything earth shattering but it should be fun to test.....the
vertical leg will be 60' long with the feedpoint 5' off the ground. The
horizontal leg will be a single 185' run going to the top of a 2nd 85'
tower. Two elevated 180' radials 6' off the ground will be the counterpoise.

Currently working on the matching network. Hope to see you all back on
the band soon. 73
