Don't think I can cram that in my available 40' X 40' space.

You’re aimed in the right direction with the beverage.

Re: 80/160m Antenna
Guys in Utah sound like Rhombics. 4 telephones poles a wave length (or 1/2 wave) with a bunch of wire wound around them. Probably needs more real estate.

Re: 80/160m Antenna
I know what you mean about being less efficient. I guess the question is less efficient or nothing at all. That is where I'm at right now. I'll certainly dig into it more. I was curious what everyone

Re: 80/160m Antenna
Byron:
There are some laws of physics/antennas you just can't ignore. An antenna that is a 1/2 wave length or longer will be more efficient than anything shorter. Sure you can use loading coil

Sorry for telling you what you already knew! Once set, the K3 setup just stays rock solid. The only control I fool with is the power knob when going from QRP to about 35w. I also have

I've read that from Don and everything I have ever done with my settings I always get just that, 4 bars solid, 5th bar flickering. Nothing more, nothing less. Seems like I should be able to get some

Re: WWWWIIIIDDDDDEEEE Signal
Byron,
Distortion anywhere in the signal chain can cause a wide signal. That means the distortion can occur when strong, clean signal is received by a less then good receiver.
…and a strong signal

If you can a inverted l is easy to put up as long as you have the room for the radials and a tree about 60 to 70 foot high

Re: 80/160m Antenna
Have an Alpha-Delta DX-A for 160/80/40 which is a dual sloper and mounted to a 40 ft tower. You need a tower because the tower is part of the antenna.. the only way you could get around the tower

80/160m Antenna
I'm looking for a simple, and reasonable antenna for 80/160m.
What are your thoughts? I know some of you have some pretty elaborate setups. I'm looking for something easy.
Thanks,
Bryon, W7RIV
