Default Using a tower as a J-Pole for 20 or 40 Meters

"Eric" a écrit dans le message de news:

Have any of you tried using a tower as a J pole antenna for 20 or 40
meters?



hello,

I tried it, but it was not a great success
I used a tower with a TH6 as a capacitive hat
matched with a gamma match system
and 16 radials

It was working first on 80 as a quarter wave, then on 40 as a half wave, and
I tried it too on 160

In fact, it was good, but not better than a dipole at the top of the mast; I
suppose due to the very poor ground here.


pse excuse my english
