Current Antennas
These are the antennas currently in use at N1IK.
-
SteppIR 4 Element Yagi
Primary antenna for the high bands.
-
Cushcraft R8
Emergency antenna for the high bands, and useful as a quick way to work
mults when the SteppIR is pointed in the wrong direction.
-
40M Dipole
40M flat-top dipole running N-S at 45'.
-
80M Inverted V Dipole - CW
80M inverted V dipole at ~60' running N-S for Europe, cut for CW.
-
80M Inverted V Dipole - Phone
80M inverted V dipole at ~60' running N-S for Europe, cut for phone.
-
160M Inverted V Dipole
160M inverted V dipole at 80' running N-S for Europe. Covers 1.8-1.9 MHz < 2:1.
I use a TEN-TEC Model 238 B to tune it for the rest of the band.

Future Antennas
These are the antenna projects underway at N1IK.

40M Four-Square
40M four-square project is in the materials aquisition phase. I have the Comtek Systems
Phased Array controller, phasing lines, and 5 Rohn 5' tripods for the verticals. The four-square
will use aluminium radiators and will be elevated a minimum of 8'.

80M Four-Square
80M four-square project is in the materials aquisition phase. I have the Comtek Systems
Phased Array controller and phasing lines. The four-square will use aluminium radiators and will
be elevated 10'.
-
E-W Beverage
360' reversible beverage system running E-W using a DX Engineering DXE-RBS-1P.
I have the DXE-RBS-1P, and when the ground isn't frozen, it's going in.
-
N-S Beverage
360' reversible beverage system running N-S using a DX Engineering DXE-RBS-1P.
I have the DXE-RBS-1P, and when the ground isn't frozen, it's going in.
