10 Meter Attic Dipole

The 10 meter and 6 meter ham bands.

10 meter attic dipole. 10n6rdb antenna in the pictures the bottom horizontal aluminum tubing is a half wave dipole tuned to 10 meters that is all set to be fed with your 50 ohm coax. This was found to be quieter and made the antenna less sensitive to frequency changes. 10 meters and 6 meters with swr less than 3 to 1. The frequency devices 10n6rdb take the half wave dipole a step further by working on two bands with one feed line.

To fit this antenna in an attic space i used an inverted v configuration. I later changed this by feeding the dipole twin feeder via a remote balun. I initially feed the dipole directly with a 1 1 balun and rg58 coax. Inside the box is a 50 ohm 1 1 balun.

The better your antenna the more success you will have making contacts. This was okay but appeared noisy. Mac af4ps fp 51 note. The antenna is rated to handle 125 watts.

The ocf dipole is like a standard horizontal dipole but fed at a position other than the center typically at the 1 3 2 3 position.

Antan outdoor antenna with mounting base for attic or roof 33ft rg6 coax cable 65 75 miles range support 8k 4k 1080p uhf vhf freeview hdtv channels. A coaxial cable trap dipole antenna installed in the attic provides a surprisinglyeffective solution to hf operation on the 10 15 20 30 40 and 80 meteramateur bands at a qth with restrictive covenants that prohibit outsideantennas.

This was installed at a previous qth i will be the first or millionth remember i m from fl to affirm that the antenna is the determining factor for success when it comes to one s station set up. 10 meter half wave dipole antenna with w2fmi 1500 watt balun 4 8 out of 5 stars 11. Seriously consider the ocf dipole to find an impedance on a 68 foot antenna that can provide a reasonably good match across multiple bands which are even harmonically related such as 80 40 20 10 and 6m.
