Hi all,
for one who is interested in getting more practical information, there is a URL:
http://www.qsl.net/iz7ath/web/home_eng.htm
where you can find some hints to build this antenna for 160 m. And furthermore
a lot of results in doing qsos with this type of lowband-antenna. Talino
(iz7ath) suggests 6m long cylindres/2m diameter for 137 kHz. If the loss of
efficiency will be abt. 10dB compared to a fullsize-dipol(measured at 1.8MHz!)
then it would be a hope for all lowfers with large aereas and tolerant
neighborhood :-))
