[PVRCNC] Vertical Antenna for FMT?

[Brian Alsop]

Guys,

I'm looking around for a vertical antenna that covers 80-20M .  Looking 
for ideas and the hardware.

I have set up two separate channels here to use in Frequency Measuring 
Contests.  Currently now they split the same horizontally polarized 
antenna and fortunately they yield the same measured frequencies.

I'd like to put up a vertical (opposite polarization) for use with one 
channel help sort out Doppler effects.  More than likely it will be 
confounding...  But it's worth a try.  Note: We're trying to quantify an 
effect that is on the order of 0.3 Hz or so during normal measurement 
windows.  Guessing the Doppler shift during a FMT is the major error 
component with today's locked-to-RB equipment.  It's weird to be able to 
measure frequency to 0.001 Hz, only to have to guess at what tenths of 
Hz Doppler correction to add/subtract.

Any suggestions?  Power rating is not an issue. Higher SWR's on some 
bands is OK since the TS480 used in one channel has a tuner.  Adding a 
lot of radials for this experiment is something to be avoided!
