G'day All, Having recently received permission for operating an experimental transmitter from this location on LF, I am now faced with the problem of erecting an LF transmitting antenna. Although in
The questions I have are: 1. How do you measure the capacitance to ground to be able to calculate the inductance of the loading coil? I doubt you can just attach a capacitance meter between the base
Has anyone done anything with a continuously loaded vertical and top hat. 40 Ft of large diameter plastic pipe wound with copper wire would be a rubber duckie on LF, the only problem I see would to k
G'day Marco, Thanks for the info. I take your point about variation in feedpoint impedance with WX. The only reason I was concerned about matching was in regard to wringing the most out of TX. On wha
from HB9ASB Hello Bob, I'm using a helical vertical for more than a year and it works fine. The lower part (7m) is a PVC irrigation pipe (11cm Diameter) the upper part a Kevlar fishing pole (8m). I'v
