15 Meter Antennas
This is a home brew monobander for 15 meters. It is mounted on a 36 foot boom and the elements go through the boom. The elements are 1.5 inches in diameter and taper down to 5/8 of a inch. The beam is built along the lines of the W2PV antenna. It is physically symmetrical, is fed with a hairpin feed.
This antenna is mounted at the 70 foot level of a self supporting Trylon tower. It covers the band with an SWR of less than 1.7:1 It is fed with a 250 foot length of 7/8 foam transmission line. This picture was taken when it was loaded with frost.
