Hi all,
Anyone that have an idea about a wire antenna (folded dipole, trapped
something, etc.) that can be used on a limited space (e.g. on a smaller roof
11*6 meter)?
I mainly use verticals but need something for local (national) 80m QSOs.
For single-band 80m operation, a dipole with loading coils would work
just fine. If you have room for capacitive end "hats", it will decrease
the loading coil inductance required and increase the efficiency. The
ARRL Antenna Book has information on "off-center loaded" dipoles.
