[Lowfer] A good LOWfer antenna article for newcomers

[Andy - KU4XR]

Hello Everyone:

As I not too long back put my beacon " XR " on the air, I immediately began looking for ways to inprove the efficiency of the entire system, the antenna is probably the most crucial. And if you've tried, you know that you can spend weeks reading websites, and sometimes be more confused after doing so than before. I found a very good ( to me anyway ) article on setting up the best antenna system " for your situation " on W5JGV's site.
http://w5jgv.com/citytenna/citytenna.htm   ::: This article is detailed, but short, extremely informative, but not confusing. It addresses the in's and out's of the different antennas, wire sizes, spacing issues, and so on.
If you're thinking about putting up your first LOWfer antenna; I recommend that you take about 15 minutes and read Ralph's conclusions. It will be a great starting point.

Thanks Ralph for the info, I personally found it most useful. 73 !!
