    Antenna Hardware . . . .

    :idea: You might as well go 36' feet to put the antenna at one full wave length above ground. And you might want to use a 21' piece of 2" sch-40 galvanized pipe for the bottom. Or get two pieces that you can slide together and bolt. If the shed is a strong one you won't need ugly guy wires...

    Economical HF all-band antenna

    Just a simple thing No, but for a wire antenna like that one and to be able to properly tune it, you should have it up in the air a ways to reduce the ground affect on the lower bands. At 30 feet its a ground digger. I had a G5RV at about 30 feet and it was a bugger to tune mainly because it was...

    Economical HF all-band antenna

    30 feet minimum? You'll have the earthworms popping out of the ground like that. That antenna will never show a very good SWR it requires a tuner and a 4:1 balun. A autotuner will have a tough time with an antenna like this. The old timers could explain it better than I ever could but with a...

    co-phasing 102 inch whip antennas

    You can use the 102's by adding a simple counterpoise to each antenna. or mounting them onto a metal roof. This would work ok and still be cheeper than buying a wonder antenna. (Wonder how they get all that gain) (Wonder why I'm bleeding the TV) Or you could make a trick stick out of the two...

    Big Question: Why do most Ham radio's sound like crap on AM

    I have a Icom 706MIIG it transmits fine on AM but the RX is bad. the filter is too wide and receives everything in the general area and if the filter is switched on then its way to narrow and the rx audio is distorted. Icom says they combine the FM and Am filter. Its bad has anyone else seen...

    Who'd a thought ?

    Crusader- We feel for you man, Canada's prices are up there too. I don't know how we deal with prices like that. I guess we should feel lucky here in the U.S. but things are tough all over. I've been doing allot of reading up on alternative fuels. www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/ This...
