Has anyone added 6 meters to a 5-band spiderbeam? I have a Kenwood TS-690 and it would be great if 6 meters either 3 or 4 (perhaps even 5?)elements could be...
Hello Joe, I tried it before in computer simulation but it did not seem to work well (too much interaction with the other bands) I would suggest adding a 6m...
I agree... put another simple monoband antenna 6ft (or more) up... the interaction will
be very low. 73's Alex iz7fmm ... Da: spiderbeam@yahoogroups.com Data:...

I forgot, think about adding a shock coil between the antenna and the earth to discharge the static from the antenna. This can be seen on the HF-2V from...
The shunt coil on the Butternut HF2V provides a connection to the radial system in order to get a 50 ohm feedpoint impedance. Maybe works for static discharge...
