Hello all. I have a few questions. My lot is small. I have a Carolina windom up 38 feet long ways in the back yard. Lots of trees. If the S9 either the 31'...
When I bought my 31' S9 from John, I also bought a Coil he sold for 80m. I have never had any luck with it. This thing just will NOT tune on 80m. I use a THP...
Hi Gene, Do you have an antenna analyzer to tell us where the antenna resonates and what the impedance is on that freq? No doubt you can make it work but it...
Thanks for the info Gene. I can only put mine in the back yard which is 82 feet long and about 30 feet to the back fence from the back of the house. Right...
Gene. Is your antenna ground mounted? I sent an email to LDG and got a reply. They said it will work but it's not the best situation with the trees and the...
To get the vertical working as a 1/4 on 80m the coil has to add the extra wire in series with your vertical. So 1/4 wave @ 3.6 Mhz is approx 66' so around 35'...

Will check them all out. From what I have seem so far there is not a lot of difference in price from all of them. Thanks Jock. John KB4OIF Proud Vietnam Vet ...
Yeah. I know that's right. Prices range from 89 to 99 from what I can see. Some show the shipping some don't. The radial wire is going to be expensive. ...

I used an S9v31 with the 80 meter loading coil supplied by John for field day. Using the 4:1 Unun., I could not get a decent SWR. With direct feed or 1:1...
I want to use the S931 as a multiband antenna. From what I have read, I need to get a 4 to 1 Unun? where do you put the Unun? Attach to radial plate? Does...
Simples Currently as a mono bander, you use a 1:1 unun/balun, between the coax feed and aerial with the radial feild. For multi-band simply replace the 1:1 to...
Thanks Chris. I want to have all the kinks worked out before I go up with it. I will protect it from the elements some how. -- John KB4OIF Proud Vietnam Vet ...
Check out the Yahoo Groups Freecycle group for your area. Also check out the Craigslist free offering. Often you will find wire being given away. So far I...
When I bought my S931, there was a coupon for either the 1:1 or 4:1 free from LDG. I ordered the 4;1 because I plan multi-band use. It took about 10 days to...
Welcome Home Brother Tom. A lot of us did not get welcomed home. I will do that and put a small plastic cover over it and the radial plate. Thanks for the...

I may have read someone ask the question about making/installing a 40m coil for the v18. But I do not recall getting details and/or specs of the coil. My v18...
My expeience: I run a 18' vertical a part of a portable set up. I only run 4 x 5m radials (at the moment) and a 4:1 balun for 20m to 6m. Wanting to try the...
I made sort of a "roll your own" S9 sometime back, using a Jackite telescoping fiberglass pole as the basis for the antenna. Also made my own weatherproof 4:1...
Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I gave up on making antennas a long time ago. Out of the 15 or so I tried to build, 2 worked and the rest were totally...
