Antenna building material for a 350 m BOG. The line should run in NE / N direction, be largely invisible, and waterproof. Most of the material comes from a
pasture fence shop, secret slogan: "Your partner for good MW-DX". The antenna is placed as soon as conditions permit on the neighboring meadow.
For construction: The Beverage boxes are installed in watertight HT tubes, the cables are routed through watertight cable feedthroughs. The ground wires at both ends are bolted to the ground rods. An approximately 60 m long coaxial cable is laid underground to the shack. If necessary, the ring insulators are placed in the ground at long intervals, bolted to wooden bars to keep the BOG flat and tight.
The BOG is connected to an
RPA-2 Modular Receive Preamplifier by DX-Engineering.
