  • If you want to try putting up an antenna on Top Band then here's some tips. I have just put up a dipole, but what other options have you got ? Do you want to work DX or just ragchew with your mates around the country, find out.....

    Whatever you do, make sure you talk for hours and never, ever give out your callsign 🙂

      A call is not important, it's not who you are, don't think your call makes you who you are, ever.

      And complain about back pain and foreigners. The usual approach is to refer to, “Those _________ continentals.” As if they weren’t allowed in the bands.
      It’s also good practice to frequently complain about the Blitz, despite holding most of the same views as Hitler.

    "Old men talking crap..." Yes, heard on 160, "Jimmy put up a tower a few years ago and he only put a guy wire on the east side because the prevailing wind was always from the east. Well, it stayed up for a couple of days, but then one day the wind changed coming in from the west..." And other tall tales.

    I have used the inverted L with great success. With only 40 foot vertical and about 120 foot horizontal I earned my 160 meter DXCC. In the 160 contests I have worked over 600 stateside QSOs in many contests from my QTH in Virginia. I also typically ran two radials and never more than 4 radials. In fact some of my best contests results were actually with either one radial or simply a single ground rod! Probably only because I tried harder when I had less radials! In any case my inverted is approximately 3/8 wave long and fed with a series vacuum variable at the base.

    Top band dx-ing is something I love most but unfortunately I have no space for an antenna for 160m... 😢

    My 55m long doublet performs better than my wildest dreams on 160m....via my humble MFJ Matcher.
    Max Hight 6m.....in a Z config with vertical downward 6 mt ends....so far from ideal.....configured in that way due space at my QTH
    I use Reverse Beacon Network a lot to see how things are doing prorogation wise.
    Winter time my Doublet is amazing....covering all parts of europe inc Iceland.
    I have only once worked the USA on voice also.
    Deso tape is great....I have lots of it.....but I now use black Wax oil from car plan water wont wash it off.
    And from a lowly 2E0.

    A bit long winded for what you was trying to explain and Denso tape is way too messy especially on a breakdown of an antenna. Ive used it in the past but these days its all vaseline. you only need a little bit and ive never had water ingress when using it. Still a very informative video about top band.
    Next time try identifying yourself, im only over in Maesteg and dont have a clue who you are.

      All of the frequency bands are measured in meters. If the metric system is troubling to you, you may be in for a bad ride.

      Buy a metric tape measure. Problem solved.
