Sweet! Sounds good! A year or so ago I took down my A99 hoping to put up an old school style 5/8ths. 73 UDX469 Utah.

I never seen DX from Dipole on 11m band awesome .. I try to when i was a young but not sucesss .. i think but dipole havent a gain ... On your movie is awesome effect

Antron 99's are known to be noisy but still everyone's favourite antenna... for some reason

Which one would be better if you had to use a half wave antenna only due to height and association etc.

@@myszaca I use a custom made bracket out of the window in the 3rd floor. No balcony. Anyway, if there is room I’d go with the dipole

@@ontariocbclub yeah dipole may be the way. got to try different antennas and see what happens. 73.

@@myszaca you can try the same dipole mounted vertical and or as an inverted V. It doesn’t have to be horizontal. I made one and I spoke to Slovenia right way with just 16 watts. Maybe it was luck but it did work for me. I mounted mine vertical like a V

And to adjust the swr, you must play with the angle of the V

Hi Five 767 DE 3231 Central Delaware. I found you channel doing a search on the A99 and I am going to try installing the ground plane elements as you did. I use a straight Radioddity QT60 & stock mic. Thinking of switching over to a power mic (KPO NM532) as well. I am particularly in your details of your doublet horizontal dipole you built. I was wondering if you made a how to video? Maybe I have not come across it yet. I still would like any details or suggestions you might have. So far I enjoy all your videos and the detailed information you share. Keep up the good work. Oh-and by-the-way, how did your swr come out withe your radials on your A99? Anyway, hope to catch you on the pipeline. -LSB38- I'll be listening out for you. Happy New Year, Be SAfe & 73's #3221 Central Delaware Jon....

Yeah ground planes are weird for these antennas. I made mine and then I bought the kit from Solarcon on Amazon. I saw small differences on swr reading with or without groundplane at 90degree, more so with the one from Solarcon, seams like Ohms reading change little bit also. Is it better? hard to tell. sometimes I thought I was actually skipping much farther with the ground plane then without. I do not have proof for it but I think groundplane will raise the magnetic field of the antenna a little bit higher if your antenna is lower to the ground like mine is at 18' . I am still thinking how to prove or disprove that 😂. Dipole build is easy if you have any antenna analyzer like mfj, nano vna or rig expert. You can Google how to build it and they have calculators online. You can coil the coax couple turns as I did or buy 1:1 Balun for the dipole. Different people have different opinions which one is better. Anyway have fun out there and I am sitting most of the time ch 37.
