[HCARC] another quite super antenna

[Lew King]

Another more do-able antenna idea from my friend, Skip, W5GAI, in MS.  

 

Lew:

Just talked with Bud W5RPU who's 90 and still hamming!

He did the W0JEE loop modeling.

He said he had a 500 ft triangular loop at 40 feet that worked really well too.

A full wavelength at 1.800 for 160M is 547 feet which would give you good results on all bands above that.

Ladder line 1/2 the antenna length or 1/4th that length would probably be be best.

Might be easier to give this a try in the trees.

Let's get some wire in the air, guys!
