Single band antenna when fed by coax.
End fed antenna in attic.
The wire itself consists of 168 strands of 36 gauge woven copper.
Another stopgap measure would be to replace the coax with a length of insulated copper wire connected to the hi z terminal on the back panel of the frg 8800.
Mac af4ps fp 51 note.
The floating coax shield but you will introduce another potential source of.
Higher is better slingshot or bow and arrow to get wire up in the tree.
That would make your end fed antenna 150 feet long which is not a problem in itself.
The par electronics ef swl is an end fed short wave antenna optimally designed for 1 30 mhz reception.
Mfj 1984hp end fed 1 2 wave 40 10m 800w wire antenna end fed horizontal wire antennas or efhws cover multiple bands without traps stubs or resonators.
Remote rf switch control box in the shack chooses which antenna is operational in the attic.
End fed wires resonate on their 1 2 wave fundamental frequency plus all odd and even harmonics above.
You would eliminate a source of unwanted interference.
This was installed at a previous qth i will be the first or millionth remember i m from fl to affirm that the antenna is the determining factor for success when it comes to one s station set up.
The better your antenna the more success you will have making contacts.
Once all the yagis were bolted in place on the mast i used my antenna analyzer to adjust their driven elements to provide the best match in the weak signal portions of each band.
Mfj 1984hp come with 66 feet of wire and cover 40 30 20 15 and 10 meters.
Hang a dipole or end fed l or random length wire between trees use small gauge wire 18 ga black wire is ideal.
