EH antenna 20 m band

                                                     


   

 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.
