I just arrived in Høm and the new base element for the DX-88 looks good.
Unfortunately, there was no time to do anything today, except figure out the correct parameters for my use (CW).I arrived at the following parameters:
Element | Inches | Centimeters | fc [MHz] | Δf [kHz] |
A+B | 10 | 25.3 | 3.7 and 7.0 | 40 and 60 |
C | 2.5 | 6.33 | 28.2 | 100 |
D | 2.0 | 5.07 | 24.9 | > 250 |
E | 1.5-1.6 | 4.0 | 21.2 | > 500 |
F | 2.5 | 6.3 | 18.1 | 100 |
G | 2.2 | 5.8 | 14.1 | 70 |
H | 17.5 | 44.3 | 10.15 | 60 |
I | 18 | 45.6 | CW | N/A |
I will use 16 radials of at least 4.3 meters as recommended by the manual.
