RX flag 

Design from W7IUV

 

 

Summer is here again, which means the RX9 circle array has disappeared from the fields.

There have been a few expeditions lately, which meant I had to make something of RX to use during the summer months.

 

My goal was to
- simple system
- not too big
- rotatable
- only with material I already have

 

All goals have been achieved...

 

 

I still had the boom lying around and it is just 4m long.
Some wood mounted on the boom and PVC pipes on the wood that are attached with straps.

 

I took the resistor, preamp and impedance matching from the FO0AAA loop which you will also find on this link

 

 

As you can see below the SWR of the flag is quite good.

 

And yes i did hear many expeditions and i worked them on the lowbands...
