[HCARC] Antennas

[ALoneStarYank at aol.com]

If you are interested in this type of antenna, which should  not be used as 
your main antenna because any folded antenna is not as efficient  as a full 
length dipole, you may also want to play with a design I came up with  many 
years ago and which costs a lot less. It does NOT require any balun,  just 
a center connector, two pieces of short pvc pipe and ladder line,  You  can 
find it at:

It has been published in many ham radio clubs newletters over  the years 
such as:

Perhaps you might want me to bring it to your club when I go  to a meeting.

To  All-

Anyone interested in playing with antennas?

I  have wire and spacers for a T2FD sloping dipole somewhat related to the 
one on  the following website http://www.buxcomm.com/t2fd.htm.  I don’t 
remember  seeing the 9:1 balun so I suspect it’s some related version.

I  also have a commercial trapped vertical with an 80 meter resonator.  Not 
 sure of the manufacturer but it’s likely a company such as Hustler, Mosley 
or  Butternut. 

Reportedly the Ham who had these obtained his DXCC  Award using them and 
claimed they were working when he took them  down.

If you’re interested, let me know. You can have them for  whatever small 
donation you want to make to the  Club.
