Receive only Antenna
This first picture shows the support elements for flag
The assembled flag laying on the driveway
first Flag had a heavy duty and heavy 1" boom
plywood at each end with U-bolts to hold pvc pipes in place which are used as spreaders
Post sunset
this is the only picture I have of the plywood spreader version installed
a wind storm a few weeks after the flag was up busted one of them
and the Flag was taken down for a rebuild
New AL end plates with U bolts
(TNX JT for AL plate!)
The reassembled antenna ready to be put up on mast
Flag is installed without boom supports first
after week - the flag comes back down,
wire is removed and reinstalled to get everything in right alignment
boom guys added and goes back up
Rebuilt Flag has lighter 1 1/2" boom, Al plates to support the U bolts, carbon based termination resistor
Again a wind storm in progress on these last two pictures
The Flag was raised once the wind slowed
160 meter coax balun
visiting Dog damaged flag in spring2016, these photos show rebuild
PVC pipe was painted
Matching transformer box getting new glue on xmer Oct 2016
relocated higher and future photo will show flag up high enough to rotate, for now covers 90 degrees from N to E...
have fun and GL with the DX
