BURR,
For AFRTS at 10.320 MHz from Hawaii. Try one of these two Antennas SLOPER: * Simple "Sloper" cut to about 97 Feet, that is 'Bottom Fed' with an angle of 30 Degrees and an Apex of about 48 Feet. * Position the "Sloper" so that the 'Slope of the Antenna' is facing in the direction of Hawaii. * Coax Cable Feed-in-Line with a Matching Transformer and Ground Rod at the Bottom Feed Point would help a lot. DIPOLE: * Simple "Dipole" cut to about 47.7 Feet, that is 'Center Fed' * Each Arm of the Dipole would be 23.8 Feet * Height of the Dipole between 23.8 to 47.7 Feet * Position the "Dipole" so that the 'Arms of the Dipole' are Perpendicular to the direction of Hawaii. (Broadside) * Coax Cable Feed-in-Line with a Balun and Ground Rod. iane ~ RHF .. .. = = = Burr wrote in message = = = ... It's 7:45 here and I'm trying both day and night from Hawaii, Nothing!!! Here a bump from time to time. I am 85 miles inland at the Ont. airport. I am using my Sony AN1 with my YB 400. I also tried these freq.'s at home on the Sat 800 and the Drake SW8 using a long wire. So far, I just can't get them. .. |
