Optimum height is 30 feet and a medium size TV rotor will handle one. Spiderbeams are similar but a little larger spacewise. Harold KD5SAK |
Physically short multi band HF antennas
Hi ED,
An old-ages HF multi-band antenna called Maria Maluca was made of two elements (7.65 m / 5.05 m / boom length = 1.72 m) feeded by a twin lead. It is a compromise between size en performances. That antenna was used by south-american stations (that's where the name comes from). Of course, operation was better in hupper HF bands (some says that 80 m operation was possible!!!). If someone is interested I can scan the description I have (in a french ... but I can translate it) Best regards Jean-Marc F4DRH www.barbaxoops.com "SWArmory" a écrit dans le message de news: ...

A friend had one and was happy with the way it worked. However, it was quite fragile, and the small rods in the capacity hats would frequently break. I did a Google search for minibeam and found several different products currently for sale. I also came across a do-it-yourself mini beam at http://www.telusplanet.net/public/ve.../minibeam.html. It is a single-band antenna using mobile whips, but may give you some ideas. 73, Fred, K4DII |
