It’s going well and keep doing a good job. I’am very happy with it 👍

@redneck, could You please at least, share the year of the Whiskey bottle ? Thanks 👌

Hi. There’s no specific lenght. It’s the necessary lenght, so that the antenna can freely turn to either sides. Regards CS7ALG

@@cs7alg_Ham_Radio Many thanks for your prompt response. i am planning to test this antenna very soon. 73s

Por acaso nenhuma 😉 Muita experiência a andar em cima deste telhado 👍

Yes Indeed. After a while the 3kv burned and I’ve placed there a 10kv capacitor. It’s now there for a long time 👍 The total length is 40,20m long. Works from 6 to 80m para can work also 160m, with the help of the antenna tuner.

Thanks 🙏 Yes indeed. This one gave me a lot of work and time spent, but it is working flawlessly 👌 Regards and 73’

Thanks 🙏 Hope to catch you soon on the air. 73’

Obrigado:)

Obrigado pelo comentário. Veja a Yagi que acabei de construir e que está no último vídeo que publiquei. Acho que irá gostar também :) Abraço e 73’

@@cs7alg_Ham_Radio Sim já vi. Muito bem projectada. O colega teve atenção a todos pormenores. Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho.

Thanks ! If you listen to me just drop in 👍 Regards & 73’ J

Hello. Thanks :) In fact no, I had to substitute it later for a 100pf 6kv capacitor, since the 3kv burned. Now it is working flawlessly. 73’ Jorge

@@cs7alg_Ham_Radio Thanks for answer i made 2 x ft240-43 and 9 kv 110 pf but never test kw. How much waat can i work this balun?

Hi. I made it my self, and had it electrically galvanized and powder coated painted after, for corrosion prevention. It should last decades now 👍

On the last and final setup, without coil for 80m, wire 40.40m long. Before, with the coil, 20.40m

Thanks Saud !

Hi. Already completed since this summer

@@cs7alg_Ham_Radio great pics of your set up on qrz

@@kc1jvd105 thanks ! Took me 2 years to complete everything, but now It’s very Nice 👍

Thanks dear Friend ! Best wishes from Portugal ! CS7ALG Jorge

Boas. Não tem radiais ao solo, tem radiais no ar,. Foi um motivos que me fez optar por ela e não por uma Butternut, que era a minha segunda escolha.

Hello Damir, like I’ve told You , the antenna must be very well guided, otherwise it will go if she gets a storm like this one. The construction of the base mast is on this vídeo here on the Chanel, follow this link : th-cam.com/video/nn4E6pgC5P0/w-d-xo.html In case of any doubt just ask ;) Regards Jorge

@@cs7alg_Ham_Radio Ok George .I understand now how to use winch. I have ordered the tubing for tilt mechanism antenna already .It is not soo complicated design. Tnx for all infos. 73 by 9A5BDE op. Damir

@@damireterovic8062 it’s easy and works very well. Make sure you use tubbing with minimum 3mm internal wall, otherwise they will twist with the weight of the antena when you lower it to the ground. Also make a good ground concrete and iron base to hold it secure on the floor. Don’t forget to place a lightning rod deep on the ground and conected to the base of the antena mast, for protection around thunder storms. Regards and good luck with the construction 👍

I always have the same swr on this antena, about 1.3swr on all bands, with about 1kw output, but I have placed 3M PowerTape on every place it has connections plus big zip ties surrounding all the tunning postes. Always seemed to me since the beginning that the connections were fragile for a antenna of this size. Also I have 9 ropes securing the antenna and not only 3 at the top. Already has survived two big storms with winds over 100km/h, without issues, although It’s scary to see how it bends .
