160 Meter Antenna for limited space
160 Meter Antenna for limited space. The height and width can be adjusted to fit the available area. Total length of the wire is approx. 125 feet. The single wire passes through the insulators. The weight must be secured to the wire so that it will not slide

160m inverted L antenna
Inverter L base at ground level with a significantly lower noise level compared to the 80/40 double, especially when the ground is damp. I will use it promptly as it is now, and will add radials within the next 160 season
Reduced-Size Half Sloper For 160 Meters
Yes, most 160-meter antennas are big. A full sized half wavelength dipole is about 260 feet long! But with a little creative design work, it's possible to build limited space antennas that will get you on the band without sacrificing too much real estate
160 Meter sloper
This antenna ships 70' in length and will be trimmed back to 68' or less on installation. It works best when attached to your tower/pole at about the 45 50' level. This allows the radiator wire to be angled down toward the ground at a comfortable angle somewhere near 45 degrees
Working 160M From a Small Lot
A straight quarter-wave Best 1/4 - 125 ft at 1830 kHz with THHN Inverted L Good Go straight up as high as you can with a wire, then bend the remaining wire to run horizontal to resonate it Tee vertical A bit better than L - Like an inverted L, but the top is extended in opposite directions

50 MHz preamp Gain 26dB with the BFG135 Preamps for 144 and 430 MHz, for 50 MHz, the BFG135a is a cheap transistor and in my view rather strong. It is not easily damaged by static discharge or RF power. FG connection
