Random wire antennas

[Tallman]

really? unless your tower is >200 feet, the FCC doesn't care. per 97.15 (a)

No it was the FAA that is concerned about tower height. If your tower is in the glide slope of the airport they can limit the height and require flashing red lights. Those neighbors are not the brightest and did not even check the regulations. They just want to cause trouble.

Think this is what I was seeking:

Broadside Doublet Lengths and Amateur Band Coverage
Length (feet) Bands covered
44′ 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, 30, 40 meters
66′ 15, 17, 20, 30, 40, 60 meters
88′ 20, 30, 40, 60, 80 meters

If you use this antenna set up the long wire does not have to be in a single straight run. It can be zig-zagged, or arranged into a square. It is also just one wire not two. So in fact it is not a dipole but single wire radiator. Compact and the auto tuner in my radios gets my SWR down low. Good receive too. I am running the 44' wire.

So can do like a fan dipole but zig zag it back and fourth away from connection out back in back out to fit room size I have?

If so what it pattern of this or of it, omni directional? If horizontally places or inverted V same or is it directional two directions or what?



I was looking at the 44 each side also fanning it 22 33 44 each side and an 88 zigzag fan style to compact it to 44 each side.

They are the reason why I have concealed carry. One of them tried to jump me once in my back yard. When he saw that .40 cal. pointed at him, the laser dot shining on his chest he stopped in his tracks and ran away. He was so close....
They might get into trouble with the FAA and the FCC for false reporting. They hate wasting enforcement time on false claims made just to harass legal operators.
You know who my wife works for and you know the trouble she can give them.

You just need one wire. It could be tacked around the eaves of the house. The pattern of radiation would be different around various points of the antenna. It is directional if laid out in a straight line. I bought this antenna system just to get on the air and cover as many bands as I could. I have no plans to replace it and I am happy with it.

I think I'd be looking for new real estate at that point.

I have some tricks up my sleeve for them and they will be moving soon.

this will work

I only use nonviolent and legal methods. A phone call here or a call there will put them under the governments magnifying lens in bright day light.

Yep, keep your hands clean and let the proper people deal with it. Now that they know you are legit, it shouldn't be an issue for you anymore. Antenna farm he Tallman comes!!
