Fw: [Antennas] Random Antenna Question

Sat, 25 Jan 2003 19:19:05 -0500

Don't be sorry Sean.  It gave us all an opportunity to see how witty we
could be.  But there were also a couple good suggestions.

At my QTH I use primarily dipoles for 40M, 80M and 160M.  I have a =
dipole
for each band, each individually fed, each oriented slightly differently =
and
all at 80 feet or higher.  But I also live on top of a mountain ridge =
(if
you can call what we have in the East mountains).

I also use two long wire antennas, one for receive and the other for =
both
xmit/rcv.  Both are over 540 feet long and both are oriented to the
Northwest.  The receive only is used on 80 and 160 while the combo long =
wire
is for 160 meters only.  All are fed by coax and I use a tuner on all =
but
the 160 meter dipole which is cut right to the frequency I use for 160.

The 540+ long wire also works well and gives me better coverage to the
Northwest and being in Georgia, that is ideal for me.
