I'm newly qualified and considering all sorts of different antennas as I don't have a very big garden but this looks like a good possibility. I'd have liked to have seen a bit at the end where you get it mounted outside. I'd probably put it on the back of my house as it's three stories high. Thank you :-)
Great video, One bit of advice, use some anti-seize paste (like Res-Q-Steel) on the stainless fasteners, it stops the nuts seizing to the bolts, you'll appreciate this if you have to remove a trap or the balun. 73, de ZL3XD.
I'm still waiting for Part 2 where you tune it! I just put one up and am wondering how much the bands will interact with each other. (If I tune 80, will it knock 40/15 off?)
There is not so difficult to assembly this antenna. Its a problem to achieve good SWR in all sw 5-bands. So more interesting to see the process of adjustment and resulting swr-figures.
One other thing, Most people that use metric measurements, use millimetres, not centimetres. The 16 cm you are referring to would be called 160 mm to a person that works in metrics.
Hello, I also own a Diamond BU-50A Balun. Can you help me with the cable length for the 20m band. What is the length of the wire. I still have a Balun from WINDCAMP Gipsy 7-30 mHZ in the specific description, the length of the wire is 5.2 meters
I just picked up a used one of these fan trap dipole antenna already assembled. How is this working for you after 1 year? In what configuration have people preferred to install it? Is the Vee/Inverted Vee with the two main elements separated by >30 degrees the best way or has anyone tried the Horizontal/Inverted Vee configuration?

Thanks for this, I just assembled mine, this helped fill many of the gaps in the manual!
Thank you very much for the video, it helped me a lot to install the antenna, now it works very well

Looking forward to the next video of the antenna going up outside!!!!!
....and there never was one.
Great video!! will buy this antenna soon. greetings from Austria!! 73 de OE3FJP
Many Thanks

For 20M band, u need 5.1m each side with no loading trap
