SE-HF360 ANTENNA ANY GOOD ???

[WARLOCK]

Would a SE-HF360 antenna be any good just to get me going on the hf bands if not what would you recommend ???

[rizz]

I wouldn't recommend a vertical for anything over 20m put up a wire dipole if you can.

[WARLOCK]

HI RIZZ what sort (length) wire dipole would you surguest

[porky.69]

what bands are you wanting to use mate ?

To answer your question, the HF360 works quite well on 10-40m at least.

A wire dipole is all well and good as long as you have the horizontal space to string one out, and not everyone can.

HI MR PORKY,i would like a nice simple antenna to enable me to use it with the ICOM 706 MK2G i have just bought my self ,trouble is i have very little garden space so any thoughts on the subject would be a help thank you ..

hf360 10-40m as stated works quite well

You love Antenna threads Warlock LOL.

If you have room for the HF360 then you definitely have room for a Delta Loop.
See one of the your other "What Antenna do you recommend" threads as I gave advice on how to make one along with with the formula's and a link to a video.

In fact, it was this thread.

I would add +1 for the SE-HF360, better than you would imagine.

Following my enquiry in a previous post, I decided on a long wire. I have gone for a Windom type 20m through to 10m its only 10.5 meters long, split into a 2/3 x 1/3 . I got it up 25 feet on a pulley fixed to the house and the long leg at just over 7 meters is fixed to the top of an 8 meter telescopic roach pole, like wise the short leg is mounted the same way. So it is in a V shape, the first contact on 20m I got 5 and 8 into USSR with 50 watts second contact 5 and 5 into Turkey. Wondom's are cheap and can be got from Moonraker my one was just under 40.00 delivered.

Any antenna is better than no antenna, but I wouldn't recommend such a junk to anyone.
