A few things you really need to look at A Just how efficent do you think your 23Ft Antenna is going to be on MF/HF? What kind of RF Ground are you going to use to support this 23Ft MF/HF Antenna? You of course realize that ANY Antenna isn't going to do Diddle Squat if your RF Ground is POOR, no matter how much you spend or save, building it........ First of all, you need to realize this is a MOBILE antenna, even if only intended for operation while parked. Secondly, I have already used a homebrew 12' tall Texas Bugcatcher type antenna with excellent results. The antenna is mounted on the back end of a motorhome, and the ground side of the antenna base is well bonded to the chassis underneath with 2 inch ground strap. So far, such mounting has worked well for me. My intent is simply to build a newer, somewhat taller antenna for increased performance.... primarily on 75 and 40M. |
