Stefan,Group.
An update on the
W1VLF hopefully to be 9 KHZ antenna.
The 55 meter wire
sloping at 45 degrees measured 340 pf as you recall.
The addition of 2
top hat wires has been made, each over 50 meters long with a slope to the
ground.
Wire 1 is
terminates at 11 meters above the ground and wire 2 terminates 20 meters above
the ground.
Antenna _only_ =
340 pf
Antenna and
Wire 1 West = 650 pf
Antenna and
wire 1 West and wire 2 East = 900 pf
L to resonate at
9 KHZ now = 350 mHy.
The L is now
coming down to a reasonable size!!
For the
next step there are 3 possibilities:
1) Change the top
30 meters from a single wire, to 3 wires spread 1 meter apart at the
top to gain perhaps 100 more PF?
2) Get my
neighbors permission to use his tree as a support for the end rope on wire
1. This will increase wire 1 west about 40 meters and raise the end
from 10 meters to 20 meters. 200 PF more?
3) Run 2 more
wires Wire 3 Northwest and Wire 4 Northeast each would be 20 to 30
meters long and terminate at 30 meters high. These would be over a
forest and I am not sure if this is my best option.
It may yield more
"C" and lot more losses??
Goal is to try to
get antenna "C" to 1200 pf or more
All ideas
welcome.
