Tree + Dipole
"SparkySKO" wrote in message
oups.com... Well I hate all of you cross posting kooks. Anyways, back onto subject. I constructed a dipole out of coax, seperated the shield/outer braid from the center wire (left the insuluation on the center wire). Each length is about 104". I tried this horizontally on my porch, horrible (5+SWR), picked up TONS of noise from busy channels (S8) while S1 on non busy channels, and just generally didn't work well. (My porch space was limited, and my porch is about 10 feet above ground, so I was experimenting). I tried the antenna diagnolly, Stetched out (Like a verticle, just 45 degrees sideways). SWR dropped down to 1.8, couldn't get out. Finally tied this thing up to a tree, suspended by cord (it was dark, so i just threw it up quickly). The bottom of the antenna just touches ground. SWR of about 4. I'm hoping to drop the SWR more by raising it even higher Try using a balun. These sites will help in construction. http://www.hamuniverse.com/balun.html http://www.qsl.net/iz7ath/web/02_bre.../pag01_eng.htm |
