Former arrangement of aerials

1=12m tower with 6m lengthening mast of 100mm diameter at the residential building. Carries Rotary-FB33-BEAM for 30m, 20m, 17m, 15m, 12m and 10m (14m high), Flexa-yagi for 70cm (15m high) and Groundplane for 2m (16m high) and

Rotary-Ferrit-coil-aerial for 136kHz, 160mm diameter es 800mm long (13m high).

2=16m LF-vertical (alu 80 to 30mm diameter) as part of the 340m-L-aerial. Nearby

the rotary-octaeder-copper-pipe-loop (shielded loop) for 136kHz, 4.62m diameter 15.2m round, 1/2''-pipes.

3=17m mast (alu 120mm diameter)

4=16m mast (glass fibre)

5=10m in oak

6=12m mast (wood)

A= Wave-trap dipole for 160m, 80m, 40m, 20m, 15m and 10m (80m long, 12m to 17m high)

B= TX-LOOP 12m vertic and 70m horiz two metres above ground for 136kHz (two windings)

or endfed Duo Lazy L-aerial, i.e. two 12m vertical on top connected with each other by two 70m horiz wires matched by one stationary and one variable coil of 400/350mm diameter for 136 kHz

C=340m-L-aerial (btwn 2 and 5).

New arrangement of LF aerials

1 = Shack.

2 = Aerial hut with the matching equipment three meters above ground.

3 = 16-m-vertical with 0,8-mH-coil at 11,6m.

4, 5, 6 and 7 = top wire poles (4, 5, and 6 each with 70m long wire; 7 with 35m).

8 = New Octoloop

The raised Aerial Hut. Inside: Bushing current transformer (Gossen HF Stromwandler HWL 1GI) with the ceramic wallentrance insulator for the aerial. Not on the fotos: The matching/loading coil with a beam rotor for remote fine tuning the load coil.

 

L-aerial

The foot of mast no. 2

1= Mast. 2= Chicken foot. 3= Isolator (two boom carriers of a broken down shortwave LOGPER). 4= Feeder.

Rotary Shielded Octoloop

New octoloop

Loop aera on average: 14m2

Wire: 7*7*0,25

Wire length 145m (11 windings, 1,3mH)

DC-R 1Ω. Q 778.

Bandwidth 176Hz (3dB points).

The loop is remotely tuned by a motorized variable condenser.

The foot of the loop (Telefunken Antennenanschlußgerät WE112).

Inside the alu box of the loop foot: Remote controled motor for fine tuning, Z transformation unit with a FET and the famos G0MRF pre amp.

Proximity (pitch) of the windings: 20mm

The loop can be rotated manually.

Receiving VO1NA and taking SpecLab as an indicator I found that the aerialvoltage of the loop is about 3dB higher than the voltage of the 16m-vertical with elevated coil and three horizontel wires 70m long each.
