100 Ft Balloon Antenna
“Our radio club yearly Special Event (SE) has experienced low signal strength and poor signal reports. We needed a better antenna plan to make our event successful.
• Better performing antenna(s) are needed that can be setup on the town square
• Supports are limited to a few trees and lamp posts
• Tiedowns are limited by concrete and trip hazard concerns
• Counterpoise limited to flowers beds at band stand, everything is concrete and bricks
Antenna Best DX performance is objective
• Maximum radiation at 0 to 15 Degrees Elevation
• Bands are not used at the same time CW & PSK antennas can be swapped
• Antennas can be tuned to Tx Frequency
• Single band solutions for 40M and 20M
• Allows optimum performance without compromises
• SE mainly a 40M and 20M operation
• SE is a SSB & CW event (desire to add PSK)
• SE will be using a Band Plan to help QRM
• 200 KHz between SSB & CW address QRM
• CW & PSK too close on 20M & 40M…
• Solution CW & PSK not in same band at same time”…READ MORE
