Shoot me down if this is a rubbish idea, but I'll share it anyway.... If Paul has space and 4 tall trees, how about creating a large spiral top to the vertical, much as I did on 500kHz? Not sure what you'd use as insulating "string" (nylon cord?) to hang in a cross between the trees, but you could imagine a spiral of, say, 50 turns of wire progressively spiralling in to the top of the vertical section. In my case on 500kHz this made about 5-6dB improvement in ERP over the previous 10m band wire halo as a top capacity hat. My spiral top was supported with a wooden frame, but for 9kHz I was thinking a nylon rope "cross" as high up as possible, supported by 4 trees, would work. Perhaps one of the experts could advise if such an arrangement would have any advantages over a top horizontal wire? 73s Roger G3XBM On 6 April 2010 20:38, James Moritz <[email protected]> wrote: Dear Paul, Rik, LF Group, -- http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/ http://www.g3xbm.co.uk http://www.youtube.com/user/g3xbm G3XBM GQRP 1678 ISWL G11088
