Mounting ocf dipole in attic.

The normal windom is described as having a 1 3 length leg and a 2 3 length leg. Worked europe africa middle east no problem 59 with 100w. You can a 50 linear loading line in each leg of the dipole without loss. In other words an 80 meter windom 137 feet long would have one leg 45 667 feet long and the other leg 91 333 feet long.

Mac af4ps fp 51 note. 2016 10 03 at 19 24 k. I ve had a fan dipole in the attic for 17 and 20 for years. Required fields are marked.

Replaced with a smartuner auto coupler and dipole configuration and get all bands. Your email address will not be published.

Bracketts from the previous antenna which broke still on the chimney. So need to get licensed. The better your antenna the more success you will have making contacts. I have antenna restrictions ccr s say none but used some blackmail.

Coax hookup for vertical uhf vhf vertical antenna at the base of the chimney. You can build a double bazooka with the same results as a linear. Ocf dipole 160 6 meters balun designs ocf hybrid 4 1 1 1 balun antenna. The so called ocf windom is also a misnomer for the same reasons.

I hung the balun on a beam in the attic. There is a vent about a foot away and i ran the wires out of it. Coaxial cable or coax os the most common form of feeder. Protection from the elements.

Even in what may be. Well after a bit of reasearch i came up with the idea of using the ocf dipole 7 band 300 watts in a loop. Radio antennas that are located externally are subject to the rigours of the weather. Using a ladder and a strap stapler i ran the wires to the edge of the roof and then in as large of a pattern as possible.

2m j pole in attic. Feeding the dipole at that point yields a minimum free space impedance of 70 72 ohms. That is the way to go indoor as much wire as you can and a smartuner. When there is insufficient area to mount a full size dipole.

The modern common windom antenna is not an original single wire fed windom but rather an off center fed or ocf two wire feed dipole. Like the attic dipole likely something i would do since the wife would shoot down the tower idea. A half wave dipole is usually fed at its center because this is where maximum current occurs.
