This is my aerial system. The large aerial to the right belongs to
the TV and next too them are the FM/DAB aerials . The Aerial in the centre
is a 70cm/2m/6m tribander and to the right the pole is the 4m groundplane
homebrew aerial. On the left is the HF 80/40m dual band dipole. the bit of
waste pipe contains a current bulun. The wire crossing to the right
is the top band inverted "L"
The other end of the wire dipole showing the loading coil on the 80m. A 10m 1/2 is attached to the pole.
Bottom of tree showing connection box containg loading coil and cap for top/80m.
The radials can be seen in the conduit. Theres 250ft of radials!
