10 Meter Dipole In Attic

I initially feed the dipole directly with a 1 1 balun and rg58 coax.

More information on my website at http www fuzzthepiguy tech dipole hamradio. I went to my friends house to check out his setup and get him up and running on some hf digital modes. I later changed this by feeding the dipole twin feeder via a remote balun. The ocf dipole is like a standard horizontal dipole but fed at a position other than the center typically at the 1 3 2 3 position.

The infamous attic dipole. Attic antennas many types of antenna can be mounted in the attic if you don t have radiant barrier. All i did was make spacers out of 1 2 pvc tubing the wire is spaced 6 off center. Then i combined my 40 20 10 meter antenna with a w2au balun that was part of my 10 meter antenna.

Mac af4ps fp 51 note. To 10 meters one band at a time larger versions will work on 80 or 40 mtrs how to website. In my opinion it s a work of art. A lot of hams are struggling in an hoa with antennas o.

To fit this antenna in an attic space i used an inverted v configuration. This was okay but appeared noisy. Seriously consider the ocf dipole to find an impedance on a 68 foot antenna that can provide a reasonably good match across multiple bands which are even harmonically related such as 80 40 20 10 and 6m. This is my attic 40 20 10 meter fan dipole that i installed in my attic today.
