Wouldn't want to throw any gas on a fire, but my opinion of single radial 1/4 wave GP is that it is a simple vertical dipole, is not a 1/4 GP, but a 1/2 wave, and should work as well as any good dipole.

You fellers are embarrassing me.

I've seen pictures of two moxons mounted in a + configuration. Two coax feedlines, one to each beam. I once mounted a dipole on a pivoting outrigger. It mounted like a T at the top of the mast and hung out on each side a few feet. A rope was tied to the other end of the out. Pull the rope for...

Here are the dimensions I used for making my all metal tubing 11m Moxon. As for the placement of your feedpoint wires, that shouldn't matter except for in one small detail. If your peeling back a coax pigtail and connecting to the feedpoint the length of the peeled coax ends will add length to...

I did try a shortened loaded dipole above an SUV. I couldn't get the SWR down. I mounted it vertical on the driver's side rear corner and it tuned right up. I made a few contacts with it.

I thought I've seen a variety that had no gamma, but used a phasing jumper from opposite sides of the two elements that drove both dipoles. It used only the cap...

I once upon a time thought I would homebrew a Homer version of this antenna type, but never did. . .

A little late, but it looks like an HB9CV antenna.

Great job with your handiwork. There's nothing like building something that gets the job done.

Well. Whatever fancy stuff it is, all the way CCW and there is no sound on AM/FM. Same on all the way CW. Don't matter if it's called English Peas, what matters is it is kinda worthless, unless you like left-handed floaties.

Are ya'll ready for this? Squelch knob operates backward to the radios I've used for years. All the way counter clockwise is maximum Squelch. Stupid. . . perhaps the radio, maybe me.

Suddenly, my AT-6666 has no sound though the speakers on AM/FM modes. Works fine on SSB modes. No idea how that happened. Squelch knob is all the way to zero/no/nil/nada/none/no way, Jose squelch setting. Put it on a channel on SSB, audio out the speaker. Push the mode button to AM or FM, no...

Thanks, Wally

I've got a friend named Mic, but he spells his named "Mike". . .

I have a random length endfed wire antenna I run. The 9:1 transformer is mounted to my wood sided chimney. It goes from there out to a pushup pole and on ... the counterpoise just lays across the shingles. I run 100w maximum and the house don't burn down.

I don't think the inductor has to be at the very bottom.

I have always used a LC (inductor/capacitor parallel) matching network for half wave monoband antennas.

Is this what you want? http://tascbbw.com/shockwaveantennas.com.au/

I am thinking you want to make this antennaFor a monoband 1/2 wave antenna both a capacitor and an inductor.

Howdy, Mark. Should have bought a better TV. I never had any problems with my Astroplanes. Just get them in the air, and properly use a Common Mode Choke. Never bothered any electronics and made lots of contacts local and DX.
