I've taken down the 20m dipole arrangement and put up a purpose Tee for the band.

Hi All,

I've been off for a day or so due to antenna changes. I've taken down t= he=20 20m dipole arrangement and put up a purpose Tee for the band.

Unfortunately the garden is still the same size so I've squeezed in a 4= 0ft=20 top with a 29ft vertical section which terminates in another 29ft section to= the=20 atu under the carport. There is a 200uH loading coil at the junction of the=20 vertical section and the top loading wire.

The coil was 120 turns on a 2 and 5/8 inch water down pipe. Not sure wh= ere=20 the thing is resonant yet although there are no dips on a regular band, (1.7= 5 -=20 30Mhz) GDO.

I'll do some check today, maybe use the variometer in a series circuit,= =20 maybe in a parallel. Hope to work the regular gang and get some=20 reports.

This sure beats going to work.......
