Graham and co.

What about something like Werner ON6ND was using (see picture in LF gallery
www.wireless.org.uk/gallery/gallerlf.htm ). He has created a large diameter
section at the top of his tower by fabricating a cylinder out of wire mesh.
Unfortunately it does require the supporting structure to be insulated......
A pure vertical does seem to work very well as Steve GW4ALG proves when he
has his balloon extension taking his to 20m high.
Mike G3XDV suggested a top loading coil before the loading wires would throw
the current out of phase with that in the main vertical and so reduce the
cancellation.....
Or you could just move!
Incidentally, if my theory about the London attenuation is true then our
signals should be more comparable to the West?
