160m Vertical 18m Spiderpole
Although this antenna is short for the 160m band, with its top-hat loading it is still very efficient.Of course ultimately its performance will depend on the quality of the radial network below it

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
160m Is it a sloper? or tower drive
How is it good to easily do QRV with a telescoping crank up tower in 160m band? I am troubled with disposal of wires when crank was downed by a normal sloper and shunt feed tower drive. I broke off the problem with this antenna
160m vertical antenna system
As ground net we use chicken-wire which is covering the lot completely 60m x 60m.The conductivity arround every vertical feeding and grounding point (more than 30) is improved by copper discs which are interconnected by copper strips. Not only the mesh but also the 10 cm wide stripes grew into the earth
160 Meter Inverted U Antenna
This particular 160 meter antenna looks like a half square, but its radiation pattern and performance is more like a vertical and it is about 40% as big as a half square. If you have about 100 feet or so space it is a viable 160 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
Rx antennas 4Square Rx Vertical Array My frequency design of 1.825 MHz a 90 degrees line would be 33,70 metersinstead of the previously calculated 33,27 m
Calculo da Antena Bazooka A double bazooka antenna is a combination that has a complete coaxial wave multiplied by its velocity factor and a total end-to-end length of 1/4 wave for each side affected by another driver shortening facto
