| Low Noise Antennas | W3GWM | on 6/6/18 |
| The noise level on 80 meters and 40 Meters where I operate a lot has gotten so high that weak signal stations are impossible to work or even hear on nets. I’m thinking about putting up a large loop antenna (500-1000 feet). From speaking to others using large loops there is a reduction in noise while enhancing signal strength. Are there other low noise antennas I should consider? I live in the country with sufficient area to construct any type of wire antenna I’d like. Convenient trees are not available in all directions but I can attach one end to my house and the other to a tree. One consideration, my wife does not appreciate low wires so I try to get the antennas high enough to not bother her and try to attach guy wires to the top of a 6’ fence, the house or a tree. |
