10 Meter Attic Dipole

This was installed at a previous qth i will be the first or millionth remember i m from fl to affirm that the antenna is the determining factor for success when it comes to one s station set up.

10 meter attic dipole.

10n6rdb antenna in the pictures the bottom horizontal aluminum tubing is a half wave dipole tuned to 10 meters that is all set to be fed with your 50 ohm coax. This was okay but appeared noisy. To fit this antenna in an attic space i used an inverted v configuration. The infamous attic dipole.

Mac af4ps fp 51 note. The frequency devices 10n6rdb take the half wave dipole a step further by working on two bands with one feed line. 160 80 40 20 15 10 metres etc using a few simple components at a minimal cost and get great results. Build an hf ham radio dipole antenna it is easy to build construct and erect a dipole antenna for the hf bands.

An attic coaxial cable trap dipole for 10 15 20 30 40 and 80 meters w5gi mystery antenna this antenna covers 80 to 6 meters with low feed point impedance and will work with most radios with or without an antenna tuner. The antenna is 68 and one half foot long one side is 23 feet long and the other is 45 5 feet long with high quality components used throughout. Inside the box is a 50 ohm 1 1 balun. The antenna is rated to handle 125 watts continuous and 1 500 watts pep.

More information on my website at http www fuzzthepiguy tech dipole hamradio. I initially feed the dipole directly with a 1 1 balun and rg58 coax. The 10 meter and 6 meter ham bands. This was found to be quieter and made the antenna less sensitive to frequency changes.
