I'd like some help / input from the experts on my plans for a 40/80
meter vert antenna. Well, it's really a 40 meter antenna that can also
sort of work on 80. Here's the plan.
Alum tubing approx 21-28 feet tall. On the top I mount the Hustler 80
meter super resonator (the same "thing" that's on the the top of the
5BTV). Adjust the length of the tubing plus the length of resonator
whip and somewhere I'll find a combination that resonates on 40 meters
and my favorite portion of 80.
As an added bonus, I'll use my manual semi-remote (in the garage) ATU to
match the whole mess on 30 meters.
Will it work? Is it as easy as I've described? I have the tubing and
the resonator. I need a way to mount the resonator to the top of the
antenna.
