Low Profile Antenna for the 30, 20, 17, 15, 10 and 6- meter Bands

Figure 2 shows schematic of the antenna. Nothing special is in the antenna. Antenna has 4 wires that accordingly have resonance in the 6, 10, 12 and 20 meter Bands.

The wires were fixed to the wooden fence in 1.8- meter height. Only wire for 6- meter band was placed in strait position. Wires for other bands were L-shaped.

Schematic of the Low Profile Antenna

I would like describe some futures of the antenna design. Coaxial cable was connected to the antenna wires inside of a plastic electrical box. Coaxial cable was going to antenna inside of metal tubes that prevent damage of the coaxial cable. Cause of the damage mostly was my dog.

Dog run around backyard and was curious about every things that are near. Best way to resolve curiosity was gnaw these items. Squirrels as well sometimes gnaw coaxial cable. Metal tubes were bought in a DOLLORAMA store. Actually it was a holder mop. Such holder in length of 120 cm and in diameter 20- mm costs 1.25 CAD. Plastic insertions were at the ends of the mop holder. The insertions were successfully removed with help of a Heat- Gun. Just heat the plastic and then with help of pliers quickly remove it.
