Couple old dogs trying new tricks. They say it ain't no use...

I got a little bitty nanovna a while back and didn't like it. I fussed about it and gave it away to someone who uses it. Now, I'm trying again with a newer version 4" screen model. I may need help...

Needed a 220Mhz antenna. So I added it to my 2m/70cm fan dipole. Now it is a 144/220/440 vertical fan dipole. Working okay. Yes, it isn't a 17' tall high gain vertical. It does get me into local repeaters and local rag chews. I also bought the tri-band Btech UV25×4 mobile to use as the base...

LOL!!

It's according to which side of a good #2 you're on which is more important.

Waiting for conditions to get wide open to finalize my thoughts on ham radio, but so far it hasn't lived up to 11m for me. The nearest to it is actually VHF/UHF in terms of local radio fun. On HF folks seem so desperate for that DX contact, and dropping way too difficult to copy or remember...

Looks good. Unfortunately, no SSB.

Hopefully, you will share those two aspects you seen nowhere else.

Is it from the Frankendick and Frankenstein line?

Jump school?

I'm just the junk guy.

Wouldn't want to throw any gas on a fire, but my opinion of single radial 1/4 wave GP is that it is a simple vertical dipole, is not a 1/4 GP, but a 1/2 wave, and should work as well as any good dipole.

You fellers are embarrassing me.

I've seen pictures of two moxons mounted in a + configuration. Two coax feedlines, one to each beam. I once mounted a dipole on a pivoting outrigger. It mounted like a T at the top of the mast and hung out on each side a few feet. A rope was tied to the other end of the out. Pull the rope for...

Here are the dimensions I used for making my all metal tubing 11m Moxon. As for the placement of your feedpoint wires, that shouldn't matter except for in one small detail. If your peeling back a coax pigtail and connecting to the feedpoint the length of the peeled coax ends will add length to...

I did try a shortened loaded dipole above an SUV. I couldn't get the SWR down. I mounted it vertical on the driver's side rear corner and it tuned right up. I made a few contacts with it.

I thought I've seen a variety that had no gamma, but used a phasing jumper from opposite sides of the two elements that drove both dipoles. It used only the cap...

I once upon a time thought I would homebrew a Homer version of this antenna type, but never did. . .

A little late, but it looks like an HB9CV antenna.
