Worked europe africa middle east no problem 59 with 100w.
Mounting ocf dipole in attic.
So need to get licensed.
You can build a double bazooka with the same results as a linear.
You can a 50 linear loading line in each leg of the dipole without loss.
In other words an 80 meter windom 137 feet long would have one leg 45 667 feet long and the other leg 91 333 feet long.
Replaced with a smartuner auto coupler and dipole configuration and get all bands.
Protection from the elements.
Ocf dipole 160 6 meters balun designs ocf hybrid 4 1 1 1 balun antenna.
Feeding the dipole at that point yields a minimum free space impedance of 70 72 ohms.

The infamous attic dipole.
The so called ocf windom is also a misnomer for the same reasons.

Even in what may be.
I have antenna restrictions ccr s say none but used some blackmail.
Well after a bit of reasearch i came up with the idea of using the ocf dipole 7 band 300 watts in a loop.
I ve had a fan dipole in the attic for 17 and 20 for years.
The modern common windom antenna is not an original single wire fed windom but rather an off center fed or ocf two wire feed dipole.
Bracketts from the previous antenna which broke still on the chimney.
I hung the balun on a beam in the attic.
Required fields are marked.
That is the way to go indoor as much wire as you can and a smartuner.
A half wave dipole is usually fed at its center because this is where maximum current occurs.
The better your antenna the more success you will have making contacts.
Using a ladder and a strap stapler i ran the wires to the edge of the roof and then in as large of a pattern as possible.
There is a vent about a foot away and i ran the wires out of it.
Like the attic dipole likely something i would do since the wife would shoot down the tower idea.
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.
Coaxial cable or coax os the most common form of feeder.
2m j pole in attic.
1 response to hidden attic dipole antenna installation.
The normal windom is described as having a 1 3 length leg and a 2 3 length leg.
Ridgeline ocf dipole layout physically shortened dipoles are practical too for an attic antenna.
Coax hookup for vertical uhf vhf vertical antenna at the base of the chimney.
Radio antennas that are located externally are subject to the rigours of the weather.
