80m Vertical info
Old timer here, (VK5JE) wanting to get back into HF. Would really appreciate
pointers to web based info on build it yourself 80m vertical or dipole. Have somewhat limited real estate! JERD |

Have somewhat limited real estate! JERD A9KW has various desgn and ideas, that he buildshttp://www.zerofive-antennas.com/ gb Occasionally I'll listen to the online receiver made available by K2JEU (http://www.ralabs.com/webradio/). Over the years he has used various diffent antennas, ranging from longwires, to beams to most recently a roughly 75 ft sloper. However, at one point he was using 40+ vertical from zerofive and it was vastly superior to every other antenna I've see him use (excepting the beam, which doesn't belong in the same comparison class). I almost couldn't believe it. I'd have expected a large vertical to be pretty noisy, but the zerofive antenna was incredibly quiet. I don't have space for such an antenna myself, but I was awfully impressed with this one. It was really something. Steve KC2SIZ |

A dummy load is, after all, extremely quiet. Or do you mean that it had some magical property of separating the signal you wanted to listen to from all the others? Roy Lewallen, W7EL |

Roy Lewallen, W7EL I doubt that it was a magical property, but it delivered more signal and less noise than the other antennas he's used (at least while I've been visiting his site). Hard to say what would explain it as many of the details (grounds, radials, etc.) of his setup aren't set forth on his website. Steve KC2SIZ |
