hints for quasi-professional cage antenna anyone?
What kind of bandwidth do you get with that?

I normally use 6 wires and slices of 12" diameter plastic sewer pipe cut to 1/4 inch thickness and 6 holes drilled every 60 degrees(slightly larger than your wire). on 80 meters I use 4 rings per side equally spaced. the rings are held in place by winding a short piece of wire around the plastic and twisting it on each side of the ring to the antenna element. |
