Hi All, Finally built myself a 33’ tilt tower (which I am kind of proud of!) and hang one end of my OCFD from a tree branch at 15’ to that...
My friends and I have been getting on 60m on weekday afternoons. I use my 160m one-wavelength loop on its third harmonic and that works very well....
In the past I set up a pair of 10m hamsticks as a simple horizontal dipole above a TV antenna rotator and found useful nulls and highs as it was...
I have installed a dipole antenna beneath the eaves of my house. It is on 2 sides of the house. When I put it up, I doubled back the wire...
I read an old topic (locked now due to age), but seeing myself in a similar situation (soon to be apartment dweller), seeking to use a magnetic...
The ZS6BKW is becoming a popular alternative to the G5RV as a compromise multiband dipole. I put it in the air one month ago and have been putting...
Ok, a little background on my meager station. I have an Icom 746, no amp, and I'm using a dipole antenna for HF. Its 70 feet up in a fir tree on...
I am blessed to have enough space in my backyard for an 80 m dipole or 160 m loop antenna. Right now, I have about 150 feet of RG-8 coaxial cable...
Hi, I am completely new to radio etc. I have brought a SDR to learn the basics and frequencies and currently using a Moonraker Skyscan Mobile...
I've done most work on a 20, 40 and 80 over the years on a G5RV. And recently put up a 30m dipole oriented north-south. After getting ARRL WAS...
GREETINGS. my G5RV once i tune the swr down (external antenna tuner) the swr creeps up slowly as i talk, sometimes depending how i tune the swr...
Hi folks, I brewed up this dipole hamstick for use on my vehicle's roof rack. Before I test it out, I'm curious to see if anyone has any...
Last weekend, I was experimenting with a 40 meter dipole in the field. I had built and tuned the antenna at home, but the antenna center...
I am trying to figure out a good stealthy antenna for the backyard. I have a pool screen that is 40ft x 23 ft. I am thinking about building a...
Hello all , found this antenna in my old mans stuff. Does somebody by any chance know which antenna is this(brand,band,etc,) as there is no...
So here is a topic of discussion for you guys. I have heard and seen many amateurs talking about adding a ground wire below a balanced dipole...
I am trying to locate some type of galvanized pipe so I can mount a multi band dipole on the roof . Only looking for about 20 feet. Many years ago...
My name is Rob and I live in the city of Port Lincoln South Australia, Australia. I became a member December 2019. I run a 40/20 meter fan dipole...
Hello everyone! My names Eric, and I am an enlisted servicemember in the U.S. Army. I'm a proud member of the Army's Signal Corps, but my...
From what I've read about fan dipoles, one of their major shortcomings is that they are really good at radiating undesired harmonics. For...
