Title: final copper wire antenna test and picture
Post by: g0seg on March 14, 2010, 02:50:20 PM

Hi fellas, just a final word on the test of an all copper curlywhirly lookalike. Been operating for a few weeks now and am about to replace it with the supplied antenna. Slight mods have been made since the last picture. The antenna height is now 30 feet; best quality 75Ohm feeder, earth now directly soldered to tin lid and not magnet and some stiffening of the all copper antenna to prevent distortion - just a glued on piece of plastic tube. Will make a direct comparison of performance with the supplied aerial. Regards to all, Roger
