Previously used antennas

Phased verticals on 80m

2 quarter-wave phased verticals (130° / 310°) according Christman on 2 x18m Spiderbeam fiberglass poles. 30 radials of 10m & 25 radials of 20m per vertical.

Total length of radials per vertical: 10λ. Homemade.

Designed for 3,750 MHz

λ/4 (90°) = 20 m

84° => 18,66 m => 4,01 MHz ( 300 / (4*18,66) )

71° => 15,77 m => 4,75 MHz ( 300 / (4*15,77) )

With a velocity factor of 0,82 the cable length are:

84° => 15,30 m

71° => 12,93 m

Phased verticals on 40m

2 x 2 quarter-wave phased verticals (150° / 330° & 60° / 240°) according Christman on 4 x 12m Spiderbeam fiberglass poles. 20 radials of 10m per vertical.

Total length of radials per vertical: 5λ. Homemade.

Designed for 7,150 MHz

λ/4 (90°) = 10,48m

84° => 9,78 m => 7,66 MHz ( 300 / (4*9,78) )

71° => 8,26 m => 9,07 MHz ( 300 / (4*8,26) )

With a velocity factor of 0,82 the cable length are:

84° => 8,01 m

71° => 6,77m
