What's your advice?
Get a copy of ON4UN's low band DXing. Search the Topband archives antennas. Measure/estimate your ground conductivity and permittivity and get comfortable with a modeling program. And finally, experiment. I don't mean to be glib but there's really no quick answer to what antenna you'd be happy with for DX on 40,80 and 160. 30 feet for a horizontal antenna *is* too low, generally. Maybe someone can comment on the Voyager DX... I can't, specifically. Verticals are good, short verticals are compromises and must be treated with care. - - - - - - - - - This is what I use: http://www.n3ox.net/projects/sixtyvert I can certainly work more 40&80m DX on this than on the 30 foot high, 100 foot long centerfed wire I used to use on those bands. As far as 160m goes, this is the first time I can work 160 DX at all... 73, Dan |
