Here you see some details of the 80m array. The array is a 4-square
with parasitic
elements, 4 directions switch able. The wires are connected on a little cross arm
on top
of the tower. The array is build with half wave dipoles, the sloping angle is about 70 °,
ca 10m of the second dipole leg is folded back to the tower in 9 feet height. You see the
feed lines ( 5/8 wave lange of 75 ohm hard line), which give you a inductance
to bring the
unused elements as a reflector.
The little tower left support my 5ele tribander FB53, but it will be
replaced by another
20-10m incl. WARC yagi soon.
