LF,

I'm happy to have my LF "office" antenna almost finished. Today i connected the coil in its end position to the 90m wire in 35m height. A massive isolator fixes the feedes which is out of copper tube.
See some photos at

BTW, matching is done by using a galvanic decoupled primary coil (10 cm diameter) inside the main LF coil (20 cm diameter) and the cable to the PA is CAT5 LAN cable! This is because i will chosse a H bridge as the PA which which have main potential and i want to shield both wires which are 2x 4insulated wires now. This may be even better than RG58 regarding skin losses :-)

73, Stefan/DK7FC

PS: I can see the antenna wire out of 800m distance :-)
