Plan is to build a J antenna for 20 meters using 1 inch EMT conduit. Antenna will be supported at the bottom by a 4x4 post in the ground and at the 30+ foot level with a fiberglass bracket bolted to the eve of the house. The upper most section will be a fiberglass 1/2 wl antenna thta used to be used for CB. I am looking for a program that will allow me to calculate deminsions for a project like this. Feedline will be 50 ohm coax. You don't need a program. The long element is 3/4 wavelength long. The shorter parallel element is 1/4 wavelength long. You can short the two elements together at the bottom and attach your feedline at the 50 ohm point on the two parallel elements. Or you can feed the long element with the center conductor and the short element with the braid of the coax. 3/4 wavelength on 20m is about 50 ft. The free demo version of EZNEC from www.eznec.com will probably model that antenna. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |
