Salve ! Abito a Roma e spesso porto con me una versione di questa antenna autocostruita … Leggo spesso che richiede un contrappeso calcolato , ma io gli ho attaccato uno generico di 5 metri …. Però sembra funzionare lo stesso ! Dovrei mettere qualcosa di calcolato , visto che opero in 20-40 metri con l’817 / P ? Grazie ,Franz

The toroid was just an old MIX31 toroid I had lying around. No reason to the taps… Every couple of turns around I made a tap until I had 12 of them. Since enamel wire is cheap and easy to get you can try different turn/taps to get what works best for you. I have noticed the 1st couple of taps are worth less (position 1-3) so it is probably best to start the taps after a minimum of 5 turns.

I have no exact details. The article fairly well sums up the plans. If you have specific questions… email me and I’ll try and answer.
