September has been fairly quiet. Only around 160 posts for the (nearly) first half of the month.

Well, the best antenna for me so far is the only one I have, a 51' G5RV
Junior dipole 30' above ground fed with ladder line into my KX-3 with KXP100. (I also have a Buddipole for remote operation.) Given that you can never have enough antennas, what should I add? My situation is perfect, with no houses except mine around, no power lines, and plenty of space. Here's my thinking at the moment: 1. I already have a new G5RV that I could probably string between some really tall trees to give me a dipole perpendicular to the one I have. Need a launcher, though. 2. I love to climb, and the kid in me would put up a 250' tower on the hill behind the house, but my wife keeps showing me articles about friends dying when they fall off roofs. And I'm not excited about putting a lot of metal in the air at our historic farm, anyway. A mono-pole might be OK. 3. We have a barn connected to the house with peak at about 35 feet (that's where one end of the G5RV Jr. is attached.) It would be easy to put something against it, say a mast with a hinged anchor mount on the ground, then attach a line up 30 on the mast and pull it up from inside the barn. Would be easy to lower, I think. Not sure what I would put on top yet, though, maybe start small. Of course I'd like to buy a K4, but for now, any antenna thoughts? david KC1DNY On 9/13/2019 3:28 PM, David Gilbert wrote: > > In my case the best, or at least the most desirable, is always the one > I don't have. > > Dave AB7E > > > > On 9/13/2019 12:25 PM, rv6amark via Elecraft wrote: >> Re: "September has been fairly quiet.

David,
Put up a Rhombic favoring the direction of your most wanted DX. It can be used as a multi-band antenna with lots of gain. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/13/2019 4:02 PM, David Haines wrote: > Well, the best antenna for me so far is the only one I have, a 51' G5RV > Junior dipole 30' above ground fed with ladder line into my KX-3 with > KXP100.

A 50 ohm dummy load. There's never any noise, never any QRM, the
frequency is always clear, and always a 1:1 SWR. Of course getting a DXCC is much more of a challenge. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 9/13/2019 2:25 PM, rv6amark via Elecraft wrote: > Re: "September has been fairly quiet. Only around 160 posts..."

Good idea. A fellow ham I worked with once had a rhombic favoring the south pole many decades ago. He was a significant communications option for an expedition down there. It was a unique ham radio experience.

The K3S is an incredibly compact and extremely capable rig. It has a handle on the side too. I don't quite see the rush to sell it if you buy a K4.

I posted the question, "What is the BEST antenna to use with my K???" as a "tongue-in-cheek" question to see if it would generate some activity, and it was wildly successful. I posted it at about 12:30pm PDT and it is now almost 5pm PDT. There are over a dozen responses, and at least two threads spawned. That question ALWAYS generates LOTS of activity. I guess it is because there is no single answer to it.

There is one additional drawback.
Last weekend, after having been off the air for just over three months, I went to the shack to operate in the Nebraska QSO Party -- needing only NE on 10 to finish the CW 5BWAS. Dead quiet on 10 meters. After an hour of CQ NEQP every 20 seconds, a familiar old-tyme burning smell filled the room. By sniffing everything I found the culprit. Somehow in my absence (or in the absence of my working memory) the KPA had been switched to ANT2, which is my dummy load. It's rated at 1500 watts but it has a time limit. I guess I exceeded it. But no matter. I opened a window, aired out the room, took the fried dummy load out to the patio, switched the amp to ANT1 (a real antenna), and the sound of the band didn't change. At all. Nada. All day. What fun.
