I would like most practical sizes or options for transmitting on all bands
with my antenna tuner and ability to use all bands. The tower idea sounds
interesting, any links that explain this further?
THanks

Hi,
What is the best homebrew antenna our there to make? I have a 50ft tower
that I have had a 22ft something omni telescoping aluminum antenna with
some
as long as possible ground planes (4). It works good on most bands, I
have
a
good antenna tuner. I have to bring it down and fix it so wondering what
alternatives are available to throw back up. I like to keep the omni
style.
What would be a practical length for the whip and or is there a copper
wire
style antenna that would perform better? Thanks for opinions!!!

For simplicity, a dipole is hard to beat!

Have you considered using the TOWER as the (vertical) antenna?
