With my General ticket I’ve been anxious to get on HF. I got a great deal on a used Alinco DX-SR8T and EDX-2 random wire tuner. Even though the bands look a little ragged today I’m still excited to get a wire connected.
So those are the numbers above that we have to stay as far away from as possible when building a long-wire antenna.
Here they are in order:
REVISED: 16 19 22 26 32 33 38 44 46 48 52 64 65 66 76 78 80 88 92 95 96 99 104 110 112 114 123 128 130 132 133 138 144 152 154 156 160 165 171 176 182 184 190 192 195 198 208 209 220 224 228 230 231 234 240 242 246 247 256 260 264 266 272 276 285 286 288 297 304 308 312 320 322 323 325 330 336 338 342 352 361 363 364 366 368 369 374 380 384 390 396 399 400 414 416 418 429 432 437 440 442 448 455 456 460 462 464 468 475 480 484 494 495 496.Some of these numbers are too close to squeeze in between them.
Here are the final numbers (in my opinion) in green below that would be good for a long-wire antenna: (You may want to make a note of them)
