KL7JR's antenna farm consists of 3 antennas on a 80 foot tall pine tree. Wire on left is a 160/80m Inverted L. Wire in middle is a 40m vertical and antenna on right is an A-99 vertical at 20 feet. On trees to the front of house is a 40m Delta loop at 55 feet. It's great to be in the country again and hang wires anywhere I please, hi hi! The Inverted L tunes all bands 160-10m but is best 160-40m. The wire vertical is best for 40 and 20m while the A-99 is great on 10-17m. Here's what I've done with mobile MFJ and CB verticals on the ham bands.....now where's that guy who says CB antennas don't work on the ham bands, hi hi! http://www.hamuniverse.com/kl7jrcbverticals.html My rigs: Two TS-570D's and two TS-50s. Yes, I'm a Kenwood guy! I even had a TS-590S that spent more time getting repaired than my patience would allow- hi hi! My favorite loop antenna: http://www.hamuniverse.com/kl7jrstealth20meterloop.html
