Hi Stan, SRI for the delay, I was away over the weekend ... Yes. You must correct the length of ALL elements if you use a different wire which either - has...
Hello, ...a few days ago I spent 3 days out in the fields doing some antenna measurements with reference to a dipole at the same height and thought I would let...
Hi Con, Nice experiement. A couple of questions please. Did you do the testing with SSB or did you have them observe a CW (carrier) signal? Did you make...
Hi Barry, ... Most QSOs were initiated in SSB and most of the tests were then done in both modes, SSB and CW ... Yes I did also do comparisons on the receive...
Tnx Con. I look forward to more tests results. Appears the antenna is doing very well! 73, Barry - W4WB ... pretty ... done ... These ... ratio etc, ... a ...
Hi Igor, no, the alternative feed system was simply - using separate feed lines for each band. Anyway, I have always wanted to TRY OUT the system you describe:...

Hello, finally found some time to put the kit together (we had "antennaweather" for some lenght of time...). It is now 5 meters up, and I have taken the...
Hello Rein, nice to hear you found the time to assemble your antenna.. Hmmm. Sounds a bit strange with the SWR values... Unfortunately under normal conditions...

With the A-index at 65 or so, and a severe solar event under way, I thought it would be a good time to update my spider beam story. I built the all-homebrew...
Hi Con, I am starting to assemble the Spider beam kit. I just realised, that I have only an army surplus aluminium sections mast and you are using glass fibre...
Hi Hugo, Stefano, et al, ... Well, as with any antenna, it depends a lot on the surrounding terrain. If you are at regular terrain, a minimum height of 7m...
OK Con, Thanks for your reaction whit much helpfull info, I will use my aluminium army surplus mast for now, it has 8 tubes of 1.5m and 48mm diameter, I have...

Hello everybody, thanks to the invaluable work of Philippe LX2AJ (LX7I) the spiderbeam construction manual is now also available in FRENCH LANGUAGE If you are...
Hello! Last weekend we played around with the spiderbeam. SWR on 20m+15m is broadband low, better that I expected (1.0 in the middle and below 2:1 full band). ...
