How about tonight (Monday) at 8 pm? Call my home phone and we’ll figure out a clear frequency that we can use on 40m.
Would you like to do a contact with me one evening this week so we can figure out what is going on with your setup? Let me know a good time and a frequency on 40m or 80m that works for you and we’ll give it a try.
Could have been any of these things… Maybe something simple – were you on the correct sideband and mode?
The Dacron rope is also lighter and more flexible which should help. You might want to go a little larger than 3 mm though.
You can also get dacron rope from DXengineering. It very strong and hard to see. I’ve used this stuff to hang many antennas and it works great.
Looks like we are leaning towards the end-loaded approach. We will need a means to add or reposition the director/driven element once the hosting tower is part way up. I will try to model this design when I get some time.
Keep the thoughts and ideas coming!
Hi Jim,
Thanks so much! We’ll likely need your help once we get further along with our yagi project.
