I have a loop sky wire ant. we use it portable.I made it two waves long at 11m.We feed it with 50 ohm coax and a 4 to1 balun it is a good ant. and not noisy on receive. Needs no coupler on some of the ham bands to 40m. And is dead flat on 11m we've been using it on tent poles about eight feet...
I wind the whips for my car I like to top load them as it seems to make them less likely to pick up the noise from the cars electrics Never knew if it was just moving field further away from the car or is it putting a horizontal pattern to its radiation making it quite like a beam or dipole...
i think my max2000 would be ok it is1.5 .1. on15m it would need a coupler on 12-17m I have not used it on 20m. I have not had this antenna for long. I like the A99 more I have had it for years . Most portable work I use a terlin outreach antenna its a great antenna.
I did know about that but did not want to add quarter wave radials as that would lock into 11m only, this antenna is used as a field day antenna and i have to be able to use it on ham bands as well.
I cannot believe that they would not check it before sending it to Australia and it also arrived without the booklet I had to down load it from the internet.
My Analyser only wanted to give me a look at 1200khz I got my son to take a picture of the Analyser in 2 pictures the 2 to 1 edge is at 27 200 and the top end is in the other picture sorry I couldnt do better
I don't know whether my antenna was damaged in transit, it doesn't appear to have any marks on the outside, but nowhere on my antenna analyzer can i find a 50 ohm feed point moving the rings anywhere from top to bottom
I wouldn't buy this antenna without seeing it first. for mine arrived without the thread tapped into the base section to allow the second section to screw into it. At the moment my analyser is with the other ham in our town, and as soon as I get it back I will get a picture of the screen whilst...
I've just bought a max 2000 as well, was hoping to use mine on 11m, but my analyser says that its resonance is 28.030 it doesn't really upset me as I'm a ham as well an I just use it on 10m, however it does seem a little short for 11m
