80m/75m Dual band Sloper works good.
There is no space to set up diople antenna because the wave length of 80-meter is too long for me. Therefore, I decided to set up the sloper antenna. It was the first experience to make the sloper antenna for me. I was surprised to get DX QSO unexpectedly though I set up the sloper antenna in the height of 15 meters. |
3.5/3.8MHz Dual band sloper in the height of 15 meters. |
Vertical radiation pattern of sloper The low angle of radiation of sloper antenna would offer the best opportunity for low-band DX operation.
Vertical radiation pattern of the dipole in the height of 15 meters is shown in the reference. |
I was able to make lower SWR of the antenna by connecting the housing of the coaxial cable also in the root in the tower. |
