I Need Another Antenna

I don’t think there is a ham alive who thinks he has enough antennas.

I have an Alpha-Delta DX-EE trapped dipole for 40/20/15/10 Meters in my second story attic.  It is oriented north-south and so it’s radiation pattern is east-west. LIke all dipoles however it has deep nulls off the ends.

Too many times (like today) I’ve had South American stations come booming in here but they cannot hear me.

The Plan: The eaves on the back side of the house is oriented almost exactly east-west.  The peak of the roof is about 30 feet off the ground.  Perfect for a 15/20M trapped inverted Vee.

Since, it’s sumer here in Arizona though, I think this will be a Fall project.
