[ QSL Info Reference Message with Links and URLs ]
This Week's 'new' Shortwave Listening (SWL) Antenna :
Linear Two-Element Horizontal Wire Antenna 63 Feet Long
Laid-Out : South-East to North-West (Far End) from the
Back of he Roof of the House to the Backyard
TV 'type' 300 Ohm to 75 Ohm Matching Transformer
RG6 Coax Cable Feed-in-Line about 25 Feet Long
- - - a la John Doty
.
? Why ? Two End-to-End "Linear" Horizontal Wires ?
MT:============------------------------------o
24 Feet Twin Lead and 39 Feet Litz Wire
.
* The 24 Feet of 300 Ohm Twin Lead is connected
across the 300 Ohm Side of the Matching Transformer.
* The 39 Feet of Litz Wire [ 50-Strands of # 41 AWG ]
is connected to one side of the Twin Lead. - Note the
other side of the Twin Lead is not connected at the
Far-End it Floats in Parallel.
* The Total Length is 63 Feet for the Longer
* Note the Shorter Wire is 24 Feet and it's Far-End
is not 'connected; and this "other' Side of the Twin
Lead Floats in Parallel to the Longer Side.
.
Sort of : Acts like One Wire -and- Acts like Three Wires :
* 63 Feet ~ 1/4 WL for 75m Shortwave Band ~ 3.9 Mhz
* 39 Feet ~ 1/4 WL for 49m Shortwave Band ~ 5.9 Mhz
* 24 Feet ~ 1/4 WL for 31m Shortwave Band ~ 9.4 Mhz
Might call it an End-Fed-Windom Antenna . . . . .

Remember 55.5% of Shortwave Radio Listening (SWL)
