[Antennas] Vertical coaxial endfed dipole...

Wed, 20 Feb 2002 10:12:53 +0100

I have build one for 80mtrs.
It worked, but thats it. It was a moderate radiator. Its a strickt
monobander.
If end fed is your only option, make one but do not expect great
results........

Hi all,

The ARRL handbook describes the construction of an and fed horizontal
coaxial dipole. This antenna is nothing more than a L4 radiator wire
soldered on the center conductor of a L4 coax cable. On the feed side of the
coax several loops of the same coax cable are present to creat a 1:1 balun.

Anyway to the questions:

Has anyone had any experience with such an antenna ?

How would this antenna rate to a center fed dipole ?

I was thinking of building this antenna for 10m, the antenna would be housed
inside a fiberglass fishing rod in order to use it as a vertical...

Any tips ? comments ?
