[QCWA] Old school

[Jeffrey D Angus]

When I moved to Texas a few years back, one of my plans
was "I have room for an antenna in a neighborhood with
NO CC&Rs or HOAs."

What to do?

After a bit of work with the tape measure, and consulting
a 1946 ARRL handbook, I placed a 40' non-self supporting
tower I brought with me next to the house. A nice 102'
doublet with 450 ohm window line, a 9:1 balun and an
LDG Z100 Pro II antenna tuner.

This works amazing well on 80-10 meters and with the
addition of a loading coil also tunes up on 160 meters.

After 49 years of absolutely lousy HF antennas, I.m quite
pleased with the results.
