[MRCA] AS-2259 fascination

[Michael Tauson]

This is something I’ve considered to put up an inverted V for 40 and up.
It’s definitely not for NVIS but still a decent antenna.  The antenna I had
in mind was made by Shakespeare but I didn’t see it last time I was at their
site.  This, of course, doesn’t mean a lot considering that when my meds are
in full effect, I could miss an elephant standing on my toes.  

 

Best regards,

I made an NVIS antenna for the CVARC Field Day. I worked Florida with it on
40 meters. I used the fiberglass mast sections to 40' and hung a 40 and 75
meter dipole from the top. It worked pretty well for field day but I haven't
tried it from home. We've resorted to using a 40 meter cubical quad which
has less noise than a vertical or dipole.

Wasn’t there another antenna along the same lines that was somewhat taller
(shorter?) than the AS-2259?

Every military radio I have ever taken into the field would rather drive an
AS-2259 than a pure 50-ohm resistive load, so perhaps that explains the
fascination.
