New LongWire Antenna - What Type Wire?
James Douglas wrote: As my existing fence is falling down and I have saved the 3K to replace it it's also time for a new antenna. What type of wire would be best? My existing antenna is around the fence about 8' in the area and the area is shaped like [ with the long side running North/South. - I prefer stranded insulated Wire; either solder the joints or silicone glue them; with supports frequent enough so it won't blow down ( in normal winds) and is " Ice Storm" proof.. Winding the insulated wire around a 3/4 inch nylon rope might also do the trick Multiple antennas are another idea.. - More ideas at the link below . . . http://www.hard-core-dx.com/nordicdx...ire/index.html |
