This antenna is designed for stations having a difficult time putting a decent signal on 160M from small or CC&R'd lots. It is a 25 ft. vertical antenna, made from three 10 ft. PVC sections bolted together, and 1/2 wavelength of antenna wire helically wound around the PVC sections.
It could also be viewed as a 160m off-center fed dipole antenna... with its long leg going up vertically, then away horizontally - and with its short leg lying flat on the ground and insulated from ground electrically!
This antenna is designed for stations having a difficult time putting a decent signal on 160M from small or CC&R'd lots. It is a 24.5 ft. vertical antenna, made from three 10 ft. PVC sections bolted together, and ½ wavelength of antenna wire helically wound around the PVC sections.
A portable vertical antenna for 160m from G6GVI. A loaded base-fed vertical. by Ross Wilkinson G6GVI. Having had some success with "short" (8ft-long!) mobile aerials for ground-wave contacts on 160m, I was intrigued by the idea of making something a little larger for portable use.
Below are several antenna setups that are intended for 160 Meter operation. The diagrams are redrawn from Bill Orr's book " W6SAI HF Antenna Handbook ". The antennas are called by several different names. There's the Marconi, End-Fed, Inverted-L, etc..
The No-Excuses 160 Meter VerticalT. e "No-Excuses". 160 Meter VerticalBy AJ8B, Bill. Excerpts were u. ed with permission by John, K6MM. Johns original a. ticle appeared in QST, June 2009.(AJ8B) In my quest to enjoy 160M, I originally constructed an inverted “L” with th. dimensions shown in the drawing. This worked well and certainly got me ...
