40m antennas

On 40m the current main antenna is a 3/3el monoband stack (SJ2W design) which is sitting at 60/35m height. There is also a 4-SQ which is used mainly as an RX antenna and is the freely “rotatable” multiplier antenna on this band, totally independent of the direction of any other antennas.

The 3/3el stack is fed with a 7/8″ coax running from the switch room to the stack box up in the tower. After the stack box there is a RG-213 up to the antennas. The 40m 4-SQ is located about 170m from the house and fed with RG-17 coaxial cable.

There are plans of a secondary direction system which will be 2/2el in 2012. We also need to straighten out the reflector which is currently twisted a bit on the boom on the upper 3el yagi.
