This sounds quite workable. As an alternative, and which might help
avoid some RFI from the house, in place of the following: On Aug 30, 4:16 am, RHF wrote: snips Run the Wire Antenna Element straight-up from the 9:1 Matching Transformer to the First Antenna Support Point; and then along to the Rest of the Antenna Support Points along the Fence. ....and then... Between the Radio and the 9:1 Matching Transformer use a Coax Cable as the feed-in-line. .....Take the coax feedline itself and run it all the way up to the top of the first support, and connect your 9:1 transformer there, so that none of the exposed antenna element itself is vertical. You could use a non-grounding variety of transformer for this purpose, or you could have a longer ground wire up to your transformer. The best bet *for this circumstance* might be to use a non-grounding transformer, but have an extra grounding block for the coax at the point where it comes closest to the ground. This is a modicum more involved, and slightly more expensive (not excessively so), but again may be useful for minimizing RFI. I emphasize that this step would be an additional experiment, and RHF's idea should work out just fine as is. Bruce Jensen |
