[Antennas] Field Day Antennas,

[Joe Mayenschein]

Hi All,

Opinion time,

If you were to have a support available for an antenna for field day that was very tall, ~200 feet possibly more. But could only put up one antenna on it. and wanted to use it on all bands, what would it be?

I was thinking a full sized dipole for 80 fed with open line and a tuner. But if it was placed running north south (broadside east west) in an inverted VEE configuration, what would the radiation patterns be on the other bands especially on the higher bands 20, 15, and 10?

Anyone got a program that would show this and could run it for me?

How about a 80 meter full wave delta loop pointy at the top fed at one of the lower corners again with open line and tuner. apex at ~200 feet, what are the patterns for the other bands here too?

Please?
