Antennas

Below is my antenna farm.  It consists of a 40 foot crank up tower with a Cushcraft A3 tribander, which is 25 years old.  I have repaired it a few times.

Below the Yagi is a Ameritron RCS 8V switching box.   This box isolates the inverted vee antennas.  One switch has the 80 meter antenna, the second has the 40 meter antenna, and the third switch has  160 and 17 meter antennas.  The switch box allows the antennas to be tuned independently of each other. Below the switch box are the center insulators and coax fed lines.
