[Antennas] 160 Meter Antenna

Tue, 20 Jan 2004 09:18:38 -0600

Hello all...

If DXing on 160m is not a big issue, I'd recommend a ladder line fed
horizontal loop.  You can study mine by clicking >
http://webpages.charter.net/donsno/wb4kr.htm  and >
http://webpages.charter.net/donsno/loop.htm .  All the info is still current
except I will soon be replacing my Ameritron ATR-30 tuner with a new Palstar
AT1500BAL.

This multi-band antenna has the added advantage of having exceptional
performance on the higher frequencies (including 60 meters) making it
particularly attractive to hams who prefer to only have one antenna.

73,
