HF AHVD on 6m – Practical?
Will the KX4O version of the 20-10m Asymmetrical Hatted Vertical Dipole work on 6m? Yes, sort of.
asymmetrical
Antenna topologies with an offset asymmetrical shape and feed point.
Hatteras Ham Shack
I took the asymmetrical hatted vertical dipole to Hatteras beach to activate NA-067. I wasn’t very successful, but made a couple QSOs. Despite mixed results, the setting was spectacular. The vertical dipole worked.
Build this Vertical Portable HF Antenna
The Asymmetrical Hatted Vertical Dipole (AHVD) prototype is an easy to build, portable alternative to other freestanding vertical HF antennas such as the Buddipole.
Asy Hat Vertical Dipole
We re-introduce the theory and origins of Cebik’s (W4RNL) Asymmetrical Hatted Vertical Dipole (AHVD) antenna with the hope to facilitate a vertical polarization portable 20-10m aerial for portable operations.
