What exactly do you mean by an antenna that "takes advantage" of your
lot size? The main advantage of a larger antenna over a simple one is higher gain. But you only get gain in one or a few directions, at the expense of gain in other directions. So unless you can rotate the large antenna, you'll have an antenna that works great in a very few directions but typically much worse than a dipole in most others. Is that what you want? One of the few ways to get both gain and some control over pattern direction is with a phased array of verticals, symmetrically constructed so you can switch directions. Among the sources for information are ON4UN's _Low-Band DXing_ and Chapter 8 of the _ARRL Antenna Book_. Roy Lewallen, W7EL Maarten wrote: Hi, I seek some help, advise or suggestions on HF antenna's. I've bought a house with a plot of approx 330 x 80 ft / 100 x 23 mtr available for HF antenna's. But when I research HAM HF antenna's, home build or commercially available, I only find a lot of small, smaller and smallest HF antenna's (eg. wire antenna's, inverted V, T2DF) that don't take full advantage of the size of my land available. On the other end of the spectrum there are plans for very, VERY large antenna's like Rhombic and Beverage. For this size of antenna's my plot is to small. Do you have suggestions for HF antenna's I should check out? Let me know in this forum or pm me. Thanx in advance. 73 Maarten maartenkoning2002 (at) yahoo.com |
