Hi to all.
I am thinking now about the design of a short vertical
antenna, for MF mobile use in next winter season.
To night I’ll test this first configuration : a 2 meters
high tube (2 cm of diameter) and a top hat (wheel shape) 80 cm of diameter. It
needs about 2.4 mH base coil tuning. The TX is 3 Watts output.
Base voltage is 2,2 kV RMS.
I’ll test this small antenna to
night, beginning at
2000 TU on WSPR2 MF band. The expected ERP is about 1 mW.
All reports be welcome. Note that to night the testing
antenna has his base on the garden with a ground earth rod, so it is not
installing on my car.
