Need Ideas for HF Antenna at Fire Station
I use a version of a fan dipole on HF.
It differs from the standard fan in that the wires are hanging under each
other with the longest wire on top. There separated 12" apart, the first one
being close to the feed point.
The 3 wires are cut for 20m 40m and 80m. With a good tuner it will tune any
band from 10m and even a bit of 160m close to 1.8mhz.
One good thing about it is...
After it was tuned, I measured everything. If a storm or such takes it down
it can be replaced very quickly.
It is also hard to see unless you are looking for it.
My 2 cents
