V Beam Hf Antenna
The mosley antennas in the area all survived.
V beam hf antenna. Most other beam antennas in the area damaged and in many cases the antenna and tower came crashing to the ground under the extra weight. 2 the versatile vee beam our second fiweekend antennafl project is an aerial that you can use on all eight high frequency amateur bands 80 40 30 20 17 15 12 and 10m with an antenna tuner and which gives significant gain on the five bands from 20m to 10m. Amateur antennas hf monoband hf multiband high power antennas hf multiband light weight low power antennas hf verticals. Offset fed one leg is 106 the other is 112.
The v beam antenna is the first part of a rhombic antenna. It is easy to construct. 50 213 coax to tuner so perfect on any frequency. The edz v beam with design freq at 51 110 mhz will work with very high forward gain at the design freq and as a normal kb4xj v beam at the 15 meter band look at the element length.
This may not be the case with some other radios though. The vee beam antenna. Build an hf ham radio dipole antenna it is easy to build construct and erect a dipole antenna for the hf bands. 2 3 swr from 160m to 6m with a 1 1 swr dip at 59mhz 22 mhz.
It to the radio so operation on all hf bands is possible here. 160 80 40 20 15 10 metres etc using a few simple components at a minimal cost and get great results. Models 3402 and 3403 are broadband terminated vee beam wire antennas. Well suited to the amateur.
This is a four wavelength per leg 40 meter v beam antenna. Using open wire feed minimum 4 ft longer is ok but remember it is a part of the antenna at frequencies under 21 mhz will give an easy match from 14 mhz and up. If you re lucky enough to have the room perhaps you may like to put up a multiband vee beam antenna for the hf bands. These broadband hf antennas are small size and offer continuous coverage from 1 8 to 54 mhz 200ft or 3 5 to 54 mhz 100ft with vswr of below 2 1 up to 30 mhz and below 2 5 1 from 30 to 54 mhz typical vswr on hf frequencies is 1 4 1.
My other radio a yaesu ft 450 with an inbuilt atu is not able to match the. Think of this wire antenna as a half rhombic. Hand wound 4 1 voltage balum. As such we can model it by removing the outer half of a rhombic.
1 element dipole folded 30 40m. Gain is 14 15 dbi or about 6 db over a dipole.
