[Lowfer] Lowfer antenna on 75-meters???

Sat, 7 Sep 2002 18:32:53 -0500

Hi Ed,
I was referring to low frequency 1750-meter beacon transmit antennas being
used on HF. I was using my 50'x50' loop on 75-meters last night and today
with great results as long as the stations were out past 100 miles during
the day. I worked a mobile last night that was a few hundred miles away.

        I'm not sure what you mean by a Lowfer TX antenna, but here I use a
50
foot vertical TriTower (baseloaded on Lowfer band, of course) down to 40
meters, with pretty good results on 160 and 80.
