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.
The 160M "No Excuses" Homebrew Vertical. 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.
