G8ODE 160 m Top Band Inverted L Antenna made of 33m horizontal wire in the garden -
The 6 Band Inverted L Antenna MK3 is a versatile multiband antenna designed for amateur radio operators. This antenna covers 160m, 80m, 40m, 20m, 15m, and 10m bands, making it suitable for a wide range of HF communications. The design is based on a W3DZZ configuration, incorporating traps for optimal performance. The MK3 version features a sturdy 5/8th CB mast, replacing the original timber mast, which enhances durability against harsh weather conditions. The antenna's construction allows for effective operation, particularly on the 40m band, where it has been successfully used to contact distant locations including ZL, VK, and Antarctica. Constructing this antenna requires careful attention to detail, especially regarding the radials and grounding. The traps resonate at specific frequencies, and additional resources are available for building coaxial traps. The antenna is designed to work efficiently without an ATU on the lower bands, while higher bands may require tuning. This project is ideal for both beginner and intermediate operators looking to enhance their station with a reliable multiband antenna. -
A 160 meter antenna with a base loading coil used to tune the two lower frequency segments of the band. -
Small & practical DIY inverted U antenna. This design worked very well during the 2017 CQWW 160M SSB contest. -
This 160 meter Delta Loop antenna is made of Hard drawn copper wire AWG 10, the two upper side are 148.5 foot each base wire is 240.9 foot, the feed point at 30.69 foot to one corner, feed with 450 Homs balanced line to an antenna tuner on the ground, then with 50 homs coax to the shack. -
This antenna looks like an inverted L antenna, yet it is not, it could also be viewed as a 160m off-center fed dipole antenna, it looks more like an end-fed 1/4 wave 160 meter antenna. -
80m Inverted-L Antenna, Base-loaded for 160m antenna. This antenna is not a good DX antenna however within small garden where true DX antennas would be impossible it has performed very well.
