If you can keep the 20 Ft wire at the same hight (or more) as the existing 40 FT wire it will improve the antenna: 1. Larger Cant = less loading coil = less losses in the coil 2. better current distr
Hi Graham, this will increase the aerial capacity by around 100 to 120pF provided the new wires are not over/close to lossy foliage/buildings, as the new wires are only the same length as the current
Thanks Alan , Rick There is a slope down from the top of the Ae , the side view is about right , I have the ideas that with the fan, the signal from the 'back' may be lower due to screening caused by
Hi Graham Probably better to put your efforts into making it higher ? 73 es GL Pete M0FMT IO91UX On Tuesday, 3 December 2013, 11:25, Alan Melia <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Graham, this will
Err NCD on that one Pete , the last 'refurbishment' of the pole , attracted evil spirits ...so at 2x 20 2 inch alloy scaffold poles , that's as good as it get's ! 73-G, From: M0FMT Sent: Tuesday, Dec
I could re make the 2 wire top , that was 3 ft spacing , wind loading is high though .. G, From: [email protected] Alan Melia Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2013 10:14 PM To: rsgb_lf_group@black
Hi Graham I think that the addition will prove a worthwhile improvement. Try and get the wires over 700mm apart as soon as possible leaving the pole ....use a spreadder ?? stopping the wires at 20ft
Graham and extra pole is not unreasonable or by adding a smaller diam. light weight pole 20ft on top. Check it out another 'S' point (or thereabouts) for free? Paint it mottled blue and the neighbour
, well at 40 ft + the insulated base , making 46 ft above the ground , I think its high enough ! , its only a few feet from the back wall , so guying is a problem with the shallow angle ..... I may b
