[Antennas] 18AVT vs 18AVQ ? What's the dif?

[Ron W7MRR]

Hi John:

   The 18AVT is a 17+/- foot piece of metal tubing with a loading coil at its base.  You must tap a link for whatever band you decide to operate and add radials to get it to perform.  All in all, a whip with a loading coil if used for 40, 60 or 75 meters.  The 18 AVQ is a trapped vertical of similiar size, but band switching is automatic.

 I has a 14AVQ long ago, so I'm familiar with it, but only recently <br>   noticed references to a 18AVT as well as 18AVQ. As I recall, and <br>   18AVQ was merely a 14AVQ with a trap and stinger added to <br>   the top.<br><br><br>    Thanks for any info!<br>    Merry Christmas to all,<br>    John<br><br><br><br>-- <br>No virus found in this outgoing message.<br>Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.<br>Version: 7.0.296 / Virus Database: 265.5.3 - Release Date: 12/14/2004<br><br>______________________________________________________________<br>Antennas mailing list<br>Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/antennas<br>Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html<br>Post: mailto:Antennas at mailman.qth.net<br>
