HAM RADIO ANTENNAS SETUP FOR THE SHACK Zero Five Antenna GP1040.
Video Rating: 4 / 5
NIce, thanks for posting…gives me some good ideas!
This antenna is basicly a non resonant antenna. You do need a tuner hooked
up to it. It peforms very wll in its designed range of 10 – 40 meters. it
does however tune up on 75 meters with a wide enough tuner and it isnt that
bad. it does not work as well as a dipole cut at 75 but i still cant
complain.
Thanks! … Nice setup by the way!
Here is the deal. Yes and no. The zero five is quieter on 10 and 12 meters
but the antron99 seems have a 6 db gain “one s unit” on 10 meters for local
ground wave communications not DX, over the zero five, But the antron 99
has a disadvantage picking up more static, interference and RFI with
increased ground noise over the zero five which is dead quiet . My
experience. You need a tuner for zero five as its non resonant antenna, but
it functions great on all bands and for the real estate it uses.
thanks for the vid. It gives other ideas when it comes to antennas.
Thank’s for the Vid, and the hard work to make this Vid happen. ~M~
cool
The Zero5 is a 3/4 wave at 10m-11m so the take off angle will be stupid
high and crap for any ‘local’ QSLing. It’s really too high even for decent
DXing. Should remain under .64 at the highest frequency where the antenna
will be used.
Does the Antron or the 10-40 zerofive antenna work better on 10 and 12
meters?
How long (approx) is your coax run from the shack up to the vertical
antenna and what type of coax are you running?
The coax is approx 130-160 ft long and is LMR-400 from DX ENG.Stranded

radio antenna;
I havr been looking a this antenna and now they have 43 foot 10 – 80 ground
plane antenna how is the material quality
