Need HF Antenna advice
I'm contemplating a Yaesu TF-857D with the FC-40 antenna tuner as a base
rig. I'd like to cover as many HF bands as possible with a simple wire antenna. I'm on a small lot with an 80' tower. So anything I put up is going to slope! I've never used an antenna tuner before. I believe the FC-40 is weather proof and meant for remote use. If I slope a random wire and end-feed it, should the tuner go up on the tower or stay on the ground? (In other words, which end should I feed?) How should I ground the FC-40? Anything better than a random wire that is still simple and covers all/most of the HF bands? -- Bob D. ND9B |
