Default 'SMALL' ANTENNA CRITERIA

Art did ship me one of his antennas a week or two back... I have it in
my shop...
I will indeed put this interesting antenna to an objective and
thorough testing with a full report here... I am always excited to
learn something new...

It is 19F outside this morning and blowing hard, with wind and snow
forecast through the week and into the weekend, and I am unlikely to
climb the big tower in this...
I will attempt within a week to put it on a small 50' tower I have
attached to my shop and get some baseline impedence and field strength
measurements... Then as soon as the weather allows I will move it to
the big tower for a good test against my full size antennas...

I am sorry to have to put this off a bit, but given the weather and
that my family is hurting at the moment my free time is limited...

Denny, Don,t rush things, you have all the time in the world.Listened
to
my present antenna yesterday and listened for a while on 20 M where
hawaii was working all Europe where all were nbig signals.
So I have got back to another antenna that will be all frequency as
well as all band
and hopefully in a day or so we can put it on the tower. Shame I
didn't put the finishing
touches to the antenna that I sent but then your interest is 160 M so
you are covered.
If you need anything drop me a line and I will get right on it.
Now have a new server so all old mail is lost and is not being
forwarded!
Best regards
