DX Engineering 43 Foot 160 to 10 Meter Vertical Antenna Pt 1 of 3

[kd8opi]

I like your video, thanks for posting. I have a 31' vertical from S9, it does a good basic job of getting me on the air. Some suggestions: 1) U don't need 65' radials unless you work a lot of 80-160M, for 40-6 35 feet is just fine, and its probably OK for 80-160 too. 2) Verticals get noise from all directions. I put up an Alpha -Delta DX EE this weekend - SO MUCH better, SO cheap, yo can put 2 up and switch directions, and u can keep your vert. 3) Farm = Beam. That's what you need.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Will you have to get a tuner or does your radio have one?

[alfabravo98]

why would you need so many antenna's???

[bfgguns]

Looks like bullshit.

I mean the brown stuff on the grass. LOL

[astrialkil]

@bfgguns more like dog or goat shit.

Quit wasting all of your money on that crap! Your prepping will never pay off. Our economy is way to big to fall that far.

[dsarti1]

@20YearCombatEngineer I sure hope your right

[IronRangeSurvival]

@dsarti1 I didn't realize and economic collapse was the only thing to prepare for. Glad to see the likes of 20YR are doing their part.

[astrialkil]

@20YearCombatEngineer The economy is that big BECAUSE of him wasting all his money on that crap! And its not a waste if he enjoys it. 8)

[Bloodstryke]

@20YearCombatEngineer how does the size of the economy protect itself from failing? By that logic, the federal reserve should just keep printing 1 trillion dollars each year backed up by nothing so that our economy will never fail.

@20YearCombatEngineer One word....ROME. Once a world super power, killed from the inside by it's ruling body. AKA congress.

[InTheSticks1881]

@20YearCombatEngineer You getting alot of crap for post that on a board like this. I have a list of experts that would disagree. Word has it, that the odds of a financial crisis in the near term is unfortunately very high. Hyper inflation may be a year away by one estimate, yet with an awakening public, a financial crisis can cause resources necessary for 'prepping' to dry up as the supply and suppliers are quite small. Panic now and beat the rush.

[chuckiep268]

@20YearCombatEngineer Another thought would be to keep spending money that helps the big economy.

[godlydoor320]

@20YearCombatEngineer - That statement just proved your ignorance!

Ever heard the saying: People may think that your ignorant...do not open your mouth and prove it...

[godlydoor320]

@20YearCombatEngineer - I'm most certain that you do not know your history, so I do not expect you to understand this quote...

"Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses"

- Juvenal, Satire 10.77–81 (in reference to the fall of the Roman Empire)

@20YearCombatEngineer - “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” - Joseph Goebbels
