tweiss3 Posted March 5 Report Posted March 5 The radiation pattern depends a lot on the height above ground, but even in a bad installation they can be very effective. https://www.qsl.net/kk4obi/EFHW Straight.html SteveShannon 1 Quote
WRQI583 Posted March 19 Report Posted March 19 Congrats!!! I have had mine for a year now. I don't really do HF due to all of the DX'ing/contesting but if it is your thing, you are in the right place. PLENTY of room to play night and day. I built a doublet antenna. 450 ohm feedline with two 60 some odd foot long 18ga wires for radials. Real simple to build and covers the HF bands. When you finally get on the radio, starting in the afternoon, they have something called the HF activity group. Check them out at HFQSO.com Real great bunch of guys and a lot of fun. They cover 4 bands (17,15,12,10). SteveShannon 1 Quote
