-> What is everyone using for shortwave antennas? Are they all horizont
-> mount? Has anyone used a vertical mount antenna? Has anyone tried a
-> folded unipole?
Most use what they can fit in the space available. Verticals are not
in full favor because at Most frequencies the length are too long.
Even a Vertical Trap Antenna needs to be at least 45 feet tall fro
good reception. The Horozontial is much easier to errect in suitable
lengths. It is somewhat directional thouggh and in some situations you
need to have two antennas oriented for optium reception is two different
directions. Folding is a trick that can be used to half the length but
since you can't get something fof nothing it does reduce the reception
when compaired to an Unfolded antenna.
