Planning to take our K2's out for field day again this year, but have =
yet to come up with a satisfying idea for an 80 meter antenna. Our =
circumstance:
We are on a ridge the has a steep drop off to the NE, our primary =
direction, but a broad top and shallow drop to the west where CA is not =
far away. The ridge is peppered with ponderosa pine trees mostly 30 to =
40 feet tall. The drop-off has these trees, too.
I modeled on EZNEC a full sized G5RV. It does not seem to like being =
deployed at 35 feet, delivers a very low impedance (3 ohms!) until =
nearly 50 feet high. Course it is a poor ground, so maybe would do =
better than one would think.
Clever ideas???
