A Practical Antenna for 160 Metres


The antenna consists of 140 feet of insulated wire, the first half of which 70 feet is space wound on an insulated tube. I used glass fibre tubing which was to hand, but PVC may be used also

160m inverted-L 12m long SpiderPole
It won't work as well as our verticals on longer Spiderpoles but will work a lot better than all short commercial 160m vertical antennas

Shunt-Feeding a Short Tower on 80 and 160m
160m is more of a challenge. A simple dipole doesn't fit in your typical yard. A quarter wave vertical requires quite a support structure. What we need is a effective compromise antenna


Take off angle of horizontal antenna

Take off angle of horizontal antenna For horizontal polarization, the electric field will move sideways on a horizontal plane, while for vertical polarization it will oscillate up and down on a vertical plane
