Title: Antenner Wires
Post by: DMOD on October 09, 2014, 10:23:10 PM
This is how we string Antenner Wires In IOWA.   ;D


I also found a little pi-wound RF Choke for my 304TL transmitter.


7" Long with largest coil 3.5" diameter. Measured 5.5 mH.

There is a string of now-disused poles on a friend's property. No wires nothing. He won't let us put up a SWL wire.. could be 500FT of it, 30 FT up.

Does the power co still have the right of way??  If so, see if they'll let you lease the poles.

I can't wait to see the semi-annual rotation of the array!  :)

Good one, but mostly Only if you wish to communicate off planet. ;D

Reminder: you may wish to consider diurnal, solar system transport, galactic rotational, galactic travel to nerest bubble concentration, etc., ...on infinitum in addition to seasonal (solar system orbital) mentioned.

Other directional changes...nutational, precessional, plate tectonical,...

Diurnal is your quickest bet since most of these anticipate a very long lasting array.  Diurnal also includes a markedly good ionospheric effect, righ up there with local star, solar sunspot cycle.
Might even be a small tidal effect if your beam is narrow enough.

Kraus would be proud of you.
