Been having fun messing with antennas with the help of Tony G0BZB.
We have both been trying out different setups and comparing notes using our results on WSPR.
I have a 132' Windom fed to where my desk is but I wanted a seperate antenna for my garden shed where my second U2 rig is housed..
Anyhoo, threw up an inverted V doublet yesterday and it's given the best results so far on 20 meters WSPR.
Bit too low but it's doing the job and it tunes nicely on 40 through 10 using a homebrew Z match ATU..
Running just over 400mW, my U2 had a great 24 hours on 20 meters WSPR.

Put this antenna up in the rain as well..
That's either dedication or madness but it's great fun :)
