I’ve had this long held dream of getting on top-band with a full size antenna! \u00a0Just imagine what could be achieved on a winters night with a full wave loop \ud83d\ude09 \u00a0Even a full sized 1\/4 wave vertical with a good counterpoise should be a magnificent antenna… \u00a0Don’t image I’m thinking shortened antenna’s here, no, I’m thinking BIG \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
So, who is up for a bit of fun this winter? \u00a0We have several sandy beaches nearby with vehicular access that offer more than enough space to erect such an antenna… \u00a0OK, so what planet am I on, you ask? Ah, well like Baldrick I have a cunning plan \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0But I’m pretty sure my plan will work as its been done several times before and by Marconi himself…. \u00a0Yes, I’m thinking kite antenna’s. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
First off, the 1\/4 wave vertical seems like an achievable start and flown above the worlds best counterpose it should be phenomenal! \u00a0Other configurations would work too – why not a delta loop? \u00a0OK it needs a couple of kites but that should be doable… \u00a0There are lots of video’s on Youtube but check out the website of G4ROJ<\/a>\u00a0and also note that he lives just up the road and is willing to do a club talk…..<\/p>\n Who’s in?<\/p>\n Andrew<\/em> I’ve had this long held dream of getting on top-band with a full size antenna! \u00a0Just imagine what could be achieved on a winters night with a full wave loop \ud83d\ude09 \u00a0Even a full sized 1\/4 wave vertical with a good counterpoise should be a magnificent antenna… \u00a0Don’t image I’m thinking shortened antenna’s here, no, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[190,29,95,191,25],"class_list":["post-605","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-160m","tag-antenna","tag-kite-antenna","tag-top-band","tag-tsgarc"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
