I built my new
E-H antenna according to the info, that W0KPH sent to me (a coil in series to
the capacitance plus matching box near the transceiver). I’m very grateful him.
Antenna construction has been described before (see “The first attempt”).Here I add the
phasing L-T network only. This antenna does a good job. I tested this antenna
in two contests : CQ WW DX SSB
2002 and Ukrainian DX
Contest 2002. Contest logs attached
here. Photo1 – it’s me at my E-H antenna
on the roof of the 9-storeys building. .
What can I
say about the antenna? When I worked in CQ WW SSB, in pileups I got 8P8P,
5U7JK, VK3EGN. Real RS for ZK1MA was 54
in QRM, but I got him also.
So, this antenna works like a good quarterwave vertical.
