Editors notes: The antennas described in this article were built as the result of several discussions between Kent and a Cuban radio operator. While there are plenty of high performance antenna designs, most of the parts required to build them are not available in Cuba. There just isn’t an EPO or Radio Shack available in Cuba.
My back fence is 50 ft from the rear of the house and not enough room on the property for 80 meter wire antenna must less a 160 meter one, and this to work great with the sloper wire attached to a fence, I also use monofilament (non-conductive) line like fishing or Weed Eater line
The antenna above has been described by Nadisha, 4S7NR and may be of interest to anyone wishing to get on 80M (3.5MHz) that have limited space available. L1 is 12 feet. L2 also is 12 feet and the overall length is 48 feet. The two loading coils are described as 67.83uH and can consist of
Double Bazooka Coaxial Dipole Antenna Info There is a lot of controversy surrounding the Double Bazooka Coaxial Dipole. Its bandwidth claims have sometimes been exaggerated. On this page I give details of how to build two different versions of the Double Bazooka Antenna. One antenna uses all coax the other uses coax and twin lead
by AG4DG The Issues A full-size antenna for HF (except for the 10m band) is not feasible for apartments due to the space required. An apartment antenna should have the following characteristics:
