I like that plate too. The guy who makes them did a good job. I’ll say this for that antenna it receives great…. Transmit well next video you’ll see! 😉
Wow looks expensive. What about as nice and tender for us less fortunate people that don’t have money for custom-made parts. Great looking antenna can’t wait to hear it on the air
I paid 65 bucks for the mounting plate. The elements were left over antenna parts. So basically I got 75 bucks in it time you add the price for the wire across the top. I used 14 ga stranded copper wire.
You can make a cheap wire loop if you have a high tree or pole to hang it from. Or you can use bamboo or another cheap material. The best thing about loops is they reject common mode noise without a current balun. So the noise they receive is received at the antenna, and not antenna + feedline. You can use a quarter wave 75 ohm cable as impedanec correction from 100 ohm (loop) to 50 ohm, e.g cheap RG6. Just remember to calculate with the velocity factor of the cable. E.g. 0.66 * 0.25 * 11m...
@@travelinjavelin I had one from another antenna. I’m not using the un un anymore. I went with a 7’ 3” 75ohm coax for the matching system. Hook the 75ohm coax to the antenna and I used a so239 on the other end to hook the 50ohm Rg8x to it. Also I added two Ferrite cords on the 75ohm coax close to the antenna to help keep rf out. So far it works great. Swr is 1.3 at 26.805 and 1.1 at 28.500.
I due elementi sono tubi di metallo, non disturbano il cavo dadiatore? Di solito di usano bracci in materiale isolante come la fibra di vetro. Altrimenti i bracci di metallo a tubo devono essere elementi attivi ovvero radianti dell'antenna.
Good job. 👍I am in middle of collecting parts for a 4 element yagi, But,.. I am interested in your Delta Loop for sure as well. Could you put up a detailed parts list and include the links -I am interested in building one also. Thanks: Subscribed & following.. 73's Sir! #3221 Central DE.
I built this antenna from scraped vertical antennas. Only part I bought was the stainless steel plate. You can get the plate on eBay. stores.eBay.com/yz4iz0. Or email e78ww@yahoo.com. Email me @ kf4zqw1@yahoo.com and I’ll give you more info on this antenna. Thanks for watching and subscribing!!
Set part you didn’t say how’d you done the top wires how do you strap the wires to it? Did you just wrapped it around it you didn’t show that shame on you shame shame shame
I used hose clamps to hold the wire on. Next time I take the antenna down I’ll use a small bolt with washers to permanently attach the wire. Hope that helps.
Looking forward to the on air demo. Love the plate - proper old school engineering built to last .

After watching part 1, and now this video, I must say I’ve never seen a 11 meter band antenna like this before! Very interesting! Good job! ~Jim~
Thanks. Look up maco vquad. This is almost like that with out a reflector
@@cbhamradio1507 oh ok thanks for the info! Have a great day!

@@la7dfa I started to use 75ohm coax for the matching system but thought I would try the un un balun. So far it works great!
How did you make the UN UN balun?

Awesome hope it serves you well
I do like that plate as well. Maybe I missed it, but did you also get the elements from SSS?
No elements were left over from junk vertical antennas

No they don’t disturb the cable. Actually the aluminum tubes are part of the antenna.

¿ Donde conseguiste las abrazaderas ?
@@llave25 can you translate in English please.
Your unun looks like it has been saturated a few times bu the look of that plastic enclosure 😅
Yeah it was on a vertical to start with. Plans are to get a new on once it’s set up permanently.
Just watched your video, that website does not work.
Are talking about the mounting plate?
@@cbhamradio1507yes the mounting plate.
