ALL BAND DIPOLE Mk2 - ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS
Alternate
antenna configuration the
main HF All Band Doublet antenna
With a view to
get better performance particularly on lower frequency bands alternate
antenna configuration such as a type of Marconi ‘T’ antenna can
be achieved by simple bonding the two ladder line legs together in the
shack and connecting direct to the T-Match antenna tuner, also a type
of ‘L’ antenna arrangement can be
achieved by connecting to one side of
the ladder line in the shack directly to the T-Match
antenna tuner.
The
Marconi ‘T’ antenna and ‘L’ antenna arrangements are
compared with the existing tuned doublet configuration by charting
WSPR pings over periods of time and other on air comparisons.
