Well I use a Tennadyne T8 for 13.5 to 30 MHz. It is a 6 meter [18 feet]
boom. I am not familiar with the ATN 18-30-7 LP. But, LP design is based upon a specific ratio for adjacent lengths and element spacing. So, just 'fiddling' with adding elements and adjusting spacing gets to be serious business. You will have to re-space ALL elements on the boom, and increase the length of ALL the elements to achieve the desired ratios. The ARRL Antenna Handbook has an excellent section on LPs. Buy or borrow a copy and read up on LPs. It's quite a project! Deacon Dave, W1MCE + + + TS wrote: Hi all Was wondering if there is anyone out there who can help? I have just purchased a 7 element ATN 18-30-7 log periodic that covers 18-30Mhz. I believe there is another ATN aerial with the same boom length of 6 metres that covers 14-30Mhz. I was hoping someone with one of these beasts could advise the element lengths etc so i can convert mine to cover 20metres. I assume i will need to rearrange the elements, drill alternate mounting holes and change some element lengths and make some crossover straps for phasing harnesses but thats just a formality. My aerial comes with a diagram of the element lengths etc so was hoping someone could scan and send. I could start from scratch and try and design a unit but this would save me a heap of time. It appears that ATN is long gone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have quite a collection of amateur radio related service manuals in pdf and or jpg format so maybe i can return the favour. email for reference is Thanks in advance. Cheers Tony VK2TS |
