Just want to share my 80 meter antenna i just made. I don't know how well it is working but i made 4 contacts on 80 meters last night. 2 where on the west cost. I am in New York
The antenna is 14awg 28' to the coil then 11' after the coil is warped around a 4.25" OD pvc pipe with 17 wraps total length of the antenna is 78' 6".
I still have some tweaking and ill get some swr readings when it gets nice out ill play with taking raps off the coil and extending out the 11" end
I hope this helps some one
