My new multi band dipole
« on: April 25, 2007, 03:38:48 PM »
This is the beggining of my new 10-80 meter multiband dipole.
The antenna is all connected and now have to get some spacer material. Think I will use 1/4 or 5/16 " fiberglass rods.

Thanks to the great guy\'s at http://www.qrz.com for their help.

Have you used the antenna since your last post? What is your report on the antenna?

Which one?
I built so many in the last month it is hard to keep up with,
 This one loads from 10 to 80 plus in between with great success.
Using a tuner on the odd bands.

If you view the thread called  "my shack" you can see it up. It is in a bicycle wheel configuration.

I built a six meter dipole that had a similar design to that except I used copper tubing and had it mounted on a flat piece of wood

Buddy I am useing a homebrew multiwire dipole that was made by a ham and used and then he gave it to me when I got my license.  I it was kinda mesed up and I had to do some work on it.  PVC was used as spreaders to keep the wire apart.  It works well but it ain\'t purty.  I like it a lot and its only up 25 feet. I want to get it up higher as soon as I can.

Well, except for 60m, it can be a bit tricky to tune there. Tunes 160 through 6 meters though.
