![]() Have any of you tried using a tower as a J pole antenna for 20 or 40 meters? According to calculations, it looks like a 50-foot tower would be about right for 14.1 MHz with a 16.6-foot matching section that could be made out of aluminum tubing and spaced out about 1.5 feet. This should make a decent low-angle radiator without needing any buried ground wires (which would be difficult to put in around here). Then I thought maybe a taller tower, perhaps 80 feet, with a triband beam on top, could perhaps be made into a J-pole for 40 meters with the beam acting as a hat. Obviously I haven't thought this through very much but I was just wondering if any of you had tried any of this or knew of any articles or websites that describe such a project. |
