10 Meter Dipole In Attic

All i did was make spacers out of 1 2 pvc tubing the wire is spaced 6 off center.

10 meter dipole in attic. Attic antennas many types of antenna can be mounted in the attic if you don t have radiant barrier. This is my attic 40 20 10 meter fan dipole that i installed in my attic today. I went to my friends house to check out his setup and get him up and running on some hf digital modes. This was okay but appeared noisy.

Mac af4ps fp 51 note. To fit this antenna in an attic space i used an inverted v configuration. Seriously consider the ocf dipole to find an impedance on a 68 foot antenna that can provide a reasonably good match across multiple bands which are even harmonically related such as 80 40 20 10 and 6m. I later changed this by feeding the dipole twin feeder via a remote balun.

This was found to be quieter and made the antenna less sensitive to frequency changes. The infamous attic dipole. Dipole easy and cheap to build can be made with small gauge wire. 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.

A lot of hams are struggling in an hoa with antennas o. Then i combined my 40 20 10 meter antenna with a w2au balun that was part of my 10 meter antenna. More information on my website at http www fuzzthepiguy tech dipole hamradio. I initially feed the dipole directly with a 1 1 balun and rg58 coax.
