The big problem with HF/MF antennas for the radio amateur is that the best choice is so dependent on the site and what the amateur intends to do. This is why it is impossible to give general advice about HF antenna types that is any good, without knowledge of the available resources and intended use. You're right. We've (I've) made assumptions of property conditions that may not exist for the OP. My little 50 footer with ladder line was technically in the clear, but its apex was only 7 feet above the flat roof. The transmission line could only drop straight down for about 6 feet, then run suspended across the top of the roof for 20 feet, then down to the shack. Yet I worked DXCC with it, including serious long-haul, from 10 - 40 meters. We don't know the OP's situation. Howard N7SO |
