[KCDXC] 40 Meter Antenna Question

Mon, 19 Apr 2004 08:48:40 -0500

Hi Alan,

If you do choose to put up a vertical, put out as many radials as you
can.  The more, the merrier.  I'd recommend at least 16, but more would
be better.  Add a ground rod at the base.  Water the area regularly.

If you put up the inverted vee, just hang it up there and pretty much
forget it. =20

The vertical is a lot more work, more expensive, but can be better for
DX.  If you have the space and time, put up both.=20

Hi Guys,

Pondering putting up a 30 or 40 meter Vertical hombrewed from aluminum
tubing  or an inverted "V" up a quarter wavelength. =20

Any thoughts, recommendations or reasons that one should/would work
"better" than the other??
