Thoughts on HF verticals

<< < (2/4) > >>

Matt285:
I ordered some SO239 connectors today and have some good aluminum material to experiment with a small vertical for 20 or 30 meters. I plan on building some other dipoles anyway and quick connection will be a plus. My current Icom HF rig is out for repair. When I get it back I can test different options. Well see how it goes. The Zero Five 43' Vertical is a wish list item at this point.

A good read from an antenna master:

Verticals can rock if it's done right.  It just takes proper planning and a little monkey grease to make it work well.  Oh and loads of $$$ don't hurt either!  ;D

In some cases they are better than Yagis... don't have to rotate a vertical!   8)

Few days ago I had ordered a "K-PO Shortwave Stick" antenna

Especially for  6.200 - 6.990 khz.  It's a mobile - max. power 500 watts






length =  115 cm only!

Dear IZS4,
  I too am looking into an HF vertical. 
  Only interested in the 10-40meter bands only
  There are two brands, Hustler & Hy Gain.
  Both are near identical in size and price, 4 star ratings. 
  Hmmmm, I will watch this thread very close. 

    :-)
