Antennas
Antenna #1:
MFJ-1024 vertical 54" whip which has been elevated to ~19' using two Radio Shack antenna mounting
poles. Occasionally used as a stand alone antenna. Mostly used as a phase antenna in conjunction with
the below indicated long wires.
Antenna #2:
~150' long wire (12 gauge insulated copper wire from Home Depot) sloping down (~18' peak height)
towards the NNE at an ~24 degree bearing (true).
Antenna #3:
~160' long wire (12 gauge insulated copper wire from Home Depot) sloping down (~18' peak height)
towards the E at an ~94 degree bearing (true).
Antenna #4:
Radio Plus+ Quantum QX Pro Loop. Occasionally used as a stand alone antenna or as a phase
antenna in conjunction with the above indicated long wires. Also destined to be used on mobile
DXpeditions (like to the beach!).
There are lots of other interesting antenna configurations that one can use for medium wave DXing such as,
for example, various loops, the pennant, the beverage, the EWE and the K9AY. These antennas, if
constructed properly, have the advantage of being highly directional. Googling these antenna names should
yield a multitude of sites that one can peruse for information.
