Re:40M antenna survey - 2010/04/30 17:57
Hello Fabi
I'm using a full wave 40m horizontal loop, also known as a Skywire antenna, here in a small city lot with good results.
I made an Extended Double Zepp for the 2006 RAC Winter Contest. We operated from VE2LCM's QTH wich have the room for such an antenna. The antenna performed also quite well. I paid a particular attention to model the antenna and the open wire matching stub to optimize it. But this antenna have two narrower main lobes, two smaller lobes and more nulls than a dipole.
Personnaly for me a reasonable antenna I'd like to try on 40m would be the rotatable dipole.
This was my 2 cents. (HI)
Good question Fabi!
