Foundations Of Amateur Radio

Foundations of Amateur Radio Recently I exchanged emails with fellow amateur Gary VK2OVA. This was his most recent response. Hello Onno, What have you been up to in amateur radio lately, you ask hahahahahahaha. I hope this gives you a good chuckle. I decided to construct and erect a full wave 80 meter sky loop. Simple antenna, and I have lots of space to do so with an old tennis court on the block surrounded by existing poles and wire mesh. The preparation for me was the key to having an easy path to a successful outcome. First step was to measure out the existing poles for the best fit, measured, then stood back and looked, then measured again, yes all is good, this will work. Made up the ropes and pulleys, rechecked the length and height, yep all good, put the ropes and pulleys in place, ready to attach the insulators. I'm going for four corners with an overall measure of 23 meters long by 17 meters wide. Using a corner feed point. Made up a feed point cockatoo deterrent, 90 mil storm water pipe abou
