[SJDXA] Maxcon antennas

[Bob Schenck N2OO]

On last night's ZOOM meeting, I mentioned my new 80 meter double bazooka
antenna which I have found to be quite nice and also fairly broad.

 

I set it up in an inverted vee format and centered at about 3650 which gives
me the following rough SWR curve.

 

1.4:1 at 3500

1:1 flat from 3550 to 3715

 

Slowly rises to 2:1 at 3860. (Easy match with tuner anywhere up to 4000).

 

Another nice thing is that my noise floor dropped a few S units.

 

Used it in the CQWW SSB and it worked fine. Pretty much worked anybody I
could hear (running a KW).

 

Being made out of black RG8X, it is also rather stealth.
