Which Antenna?
Hi there!
I am a Newbie in amateur radio and I am on the way to build my shack/antenna. Question: Which SW-antenna should I take for good DX'ing? Vertical/horizontal antenna, beam etc. The problem is that I can't mount a 20 meter Versatower next to my house. The only way is my roof which is about 6m from ground. What is a really good HF-grounding? Is it enough to connect the antenna mast/tower to the water pipe? Lots of questions....... ;-) Thanks Mike |
