Hi,

Any designs for a small antenna to work on 160M? My garden is approx 40ft x
17ft.

Post links here.

Thanks.

OMG your garden is TINY. You will never be able to operate on top band
unless you get a vertical!
I wish mine was 40*17ft.

A loop should be cut at approx. lambda/10, so with a circumference of 16m or
a radius of 5m !
Too bulky for a small garden

==============================

What prevents it being cut with a circumference LESS than 16m.

Indeed, there isn't anything on 160M that's going to NOT be a compromise
here.

A 1/2WL vertical should fit in a 40'x17' section. :-)

Hi M3

Can you eke out 6 to 8 more feet somehow?

Take a look at my linear loaded inverted Vee

It has worked like gangbusters for me and for several others who have
tried it also.

How about a top loaded vertical with every bit of that garden loaded with
radials???

Many of those longwave NDB's run antennas that are fairly small and they get
out well.

I took a look at it and it's not 100% clear to me from the sketch in
your website how your loaded vee is actually laid out, half of it
seems to be "missing". Is the "missing half" another complete leg
attached to the other side of the balun? In other words is the
end-to-end overall "wingspan" 80+ feet? If yes how could it fit in the
M3's 40 foot back yard? Or am I missing something very fundamental??
