[Antennas] Question

Thu, 31 Jul 2003 21:37:47 -0400

I've noticed some fiberglass masts from (I think) MFJ and surplus from Fair
Radio.  I have no first hand knowledge of these.

You might consider using inverted vee's to "guy" one of these masts.

Two masts lets you use horizontal dipoles.

Four masts gives a loop or a possible four square!

Otherwise consider using two mobile type antennas configured as a dipole.
(We are talking HF frequencies?)

The problem is height.  If you are stuck with only the house for a support
you might put a dipole above the ridgeline from end to end. Buy a tuner or
build an L network and it will radiate in some direction.

Good luck!
