3 weeks into the hamstick doublet

June 12, 2008 19:29 by W4INF

Well, its been about 3 weeks or more since I modified the hamstick dipole into a hamstick DOUBLET by feeding it with abt50ft of 450ohm ladder line.  It tunes 40m - 10m just fine with the Z-100, however  condx has been so very horrible that Ive yet to make enough contacts to verify how "well" it works.  It is now up to 20ft AG, and I can attest this is the BEST elevation Ive found that makes it tune great.  Five 4 foot sections of fiberglass poles that are Army surplus are holding it up right now. 

Once I can get some more testing done, Ill post some results.
