Vertical antenna balloon for the 80m band
The antenna could not be simpler - 1/4 or 1/2 wavelength of thin copper wire, used 35 SWG enamalled copper wire. This amounts to 20 or 40m of wire. It is carefully coiled up on the wire spool with one end soldered to a tag. When the balloon is let free it pulls the wire from the spool and it goes up at a nice slow pace. Once up, a croc-clip goes from the ATU coil to the solder tag - the antenna is connected

80 Meter Tower Vertical with Short Radials
The modelled resistance component of the feed point impedance at 3.65 MHz is 80 ohm. It is high due to ground loss and being well off resonance. I chose to simply place a capacitor load in series with tower monopole, chosen to have a reactance of equal magnitude to the inductive reactance of 44 ohm at 3.65 MHz. This requires a capacitor of 1000 pf

50MHz to 28MHz RX Converter The concept of the rx converter is quite simple and nothing really new. the local oscillator is a standard colpitts crystal oscillator producing the 22mhz lo signal
