Re: Rowlands reflector question
I’d be inclined to put up a 135’ long OCFD if you have the space. I like the Buckmaster one because it’s pretty bomb-proof but it’s not magically better than all the other variants

Re: Rowlands reflector question
As mentioned there are several options. The easiest would be an end fed zep. Not the best option but will work. I have used one on several occasions in the field and had good success. Get one end up

Re: Rowlands reflector question
What bands do you want to cover? And how high can you easily get an antenna (trees, etc)?

Re: Online Ham Technician Class
I used this for all my test study and preparation. It is very good at working with weak spots with quizzes that drill on those areas. Good references to supplemental materials.

Re: Rowlands reflector question
How much do you want to spend? There are G5RVs, Off center fed dipoles, end feed zeps, certified and so on

Online Ham Technician Class
Hey Folks,
At the online SnoVARC meeting last week we discussed the possibility of running a Technician level online class. We have 20 students who jumped at the chance.
Next step is to find folks

Re: Rowlands reflector question
Since everyone is offering antenna advice, I have a perfect condition kenwood hf radio I should use this time to get working.
What's the easiest antenna to get put u pl in short order?

Re: Rowlands reflector question
Paul, This is clearly a newbie question…but I’m curious, what happens if the inverted V is an actual V? Where the ends at 30 Ft and center is at 6ft?

Rowlands reflector question
Rowland asked if adding a reflector below his 80m OCFD would improve NVIS performance on 80m.
A bit more than a 2dBi improvement at 90 degrees. That’s with the reflector length optimized for gain.
