Another build....15/10/6/2 Fan Dipole / Vert

 Built this in my basement...
















worked this guy from my basement ....











Folded it all up an lugged it up the hill for install.













Here it is mounted. 













2nd build this week ,  didn't like how the first fan turned so scrapped it and started again.   

The 15m element is attached to the rope.   The 10m and 6m segments hang below.  The 2m segment is a vertical dipole.  The antenna is completely built inside ready to go up the hill.  Installation time ... 10 min.   

I fussed over this thing with my NanoVNA and below is the results " In the Basement "  and then after it was installed "Up the Hill Outside".

15m in the basement















15m installed outside on top of the hill



10m in the basement 















10m installed outside on top of the hill















6m in the basement 



6m installed outside on top of the hill















2m in the basement 









2m installed outside on top of the hill  ,  see ***** below 









1-150MHz sweep inside
















1-150 MHz sweep installed outside on top of the hill. 














******  the LDF4 run between the house and antenna is around 500' there is another 40ft of RG59 after that.   The IFL routes through a 4X1 switch that isn't spec above 6m so that is what I suspect is the problem with the 2m segment outside.   I have a direct IFL that I will switch to when the weather improves....probably May!  ******
