I purchased a vertical from N5NMR last weekend. Don't know what kind it is, but it looks like fun. It kind of got me moving, as you can see from the pictures below. I'm installing the mounting base and I've gotten the material to clean up the antenna. Hopefully I'll have it on the air this weekend!
Here's the antenna location behind the storage building.
Digging out the dirt from around the original pour of cement.
I'd already poured cement, but it wasn't enough so I got more cement and dug out the hole for another dose.
Building the form and waiting for it to dry.
The Antenna
The whole Antenna (above)
Various Antenna parts (below)
I've still been unable to discover the manufacturer of this antenna.
Interestingly, though, the traps are labelled DF (10), DG (15), DH
(20), and DJ (40).
Above is the DJ (uppermost) trap.
On the left above is the DH trap while on the right are the DF and
DG traps.
On the left is the connection between the base and first section.
A closeup of the base is on the right.
Stay tuned for more!
It's here-----^^^!
