Those of you who are using apartment antenna I would love to know of
your experience. 73, Alan VY2WU I had a nice cw qso with a fellow in an apartment using a 9:1 unun made by balundesigns.com to a straight wire off his apartment balcony to a tree. Such a wire could be made very small and almost invisible, if that is a possiblity. Also, easy enough to homebrew your own 9:1 balun for such, if you are inclined. If you could feed with parallel line, an end-fed zepp might work well, but would require an end support, such as a tree, and the parallel is more visible. If the second support is not practical, many have used coil loaded verticals off a patio. This could be done with a collapsing fiber glass pole for removal when not in use. Both schemes would require a tuner. 73 ...Edwin, KD5ZLB __________________________________________________ __________ "Once you have flown, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, there you long to return."-da Vinci http://bellsouthpwp2.net/e/d/edwinljohnson |
