[Harc] Multiband HF Vertical

[JAMES FALLS]

Similar here, but 2 sides with power lines. Mine’s a 1/4 wave 40m vertical on the roof strapped to my chimney. I have 12 radials up there and use a basic T-network “tuna”. I can run the even harmonics fine.

But, I'm concerned about our grandchildren running into something that's not elevated at least a bit.
