| WB2MIC 40
meter monoband vertical made from
converted HyGain
14AVQ vertical. One excellent DX performer. What
can I say? I was only using the 40 meter portion of the 14AVQ
and at 18 feet, it was too short to work like I wanted. So,
the vertical was turned into a 33.3 foot monoband 40 meter
antenna. For big (1MB image click on image below). Works
great! See initial log below.
Update 4/19/07. This
antenna came down on the huge Noreaster of 4/15/07. It was
sorely missed, so it went back up on 4/18/07 by cutting tubing on
the bottom and making a sleeve splicing it back together. The
antenna is too good for DX to give up.
