So with the intervention of my local council I have to re
arrange my antenna set up. I have decided to sell my mast and mini Mosley
antenna but will keep the hustler as it’s a very good multiband antenna. I will
re-fit in my main garden add the ground radials and hopefully be on the air
within the week. That done I just have the W3DZZ which covers the lower bands adequately,
but I’m tempted to go back to some wire antennas for experimentation.
I like the construction plus the experimental side of
antennas, seeing what works and what doesn’t!
I feel I haven’t finished with
loop antennas, I’ve built a 20m delta but I fancy having ago building some sort
of loop for 30 meters one of my favourite bands. Also I’d like to try a delta
loop for the 17m but on fibre glass poles and to this end I have purchased a
cheap pre-built antenna that I shall have a play with and see if I can adapt.
The old 20m Delta loop antenna
My local council did not state that I cannot put any
temporary antennas in my paddock, so that will be another factor to add to the
fun. To sum up, I want to build a couple of loop antennas, perhaps a skywire and
a delta loop on poles that must be of a temporary construction, this could be
fun!
