his new antenna system it is a homebrew £30.00! 20/17/15 and 10m fan diapole on the roof of his London flat. I went over to visit today and we worked several Mexican stations and guy in New York. Pretty good hop for a homebrew antenna!The dipole is cut resonant for 20/17/15/10m so no ATU is required on those bands. For all other bands I rely on an ATU for a match, but presently being just coaxial fed suffer from increased mis-matched feeder losses on those frequencies.
The antenna is mounted on the roof of a three storey house, with the base of the mounting pole approximately 12m off the ground. The dipole centre is a further 5 meters higher, with the antenna ends fastened about 3.5m below the centre, giving the inverted 'V' of approximately 100 degrees (for the top element).
