Here is my interpretation of using metal window screen as a ground plane.
Wow i was impressed!
Despite poor band conditions it seemed to work almost just as well as the long radials and is much quicker to set up.
I will be testing it more in the near future when the bands are better and i have more time to expirement.
Just wanted to share with yall my expirence with it.
I do recommend you try this! I got a roll of window screen at lowes for about $8.00.
Thanks for watching. Please CRAM that like button and subscribe for more ham radio things!

I'm picking up my roll of screen today. I'm looking forward to giving it a try. Great quick video.

@Classic Clay Presents *Never mind Apple stocks I see a screen shortage in the near future*

Our testing suggests a 2 s unit improvement in antenna performance, but this is preliminary data more testing is needed

@ClassicClay104 Год назад

Thanks for that info. The use of the screen really is a brilliant idea.

Is your testing of 2 s units improvement compared to NO radials or that compared to using 3 or 4 lengths of counterpoise wire?

I am getting mine tomorrow! That’s the reason why I’m getting mine too much to fool with my wire radials ! Brother I run POTA also I’m getting 53 and 52’s yep the bands have been lousy no worries thanks for posting!

@ClassicClay104 Год назад

Fantastic! Im sure it will work well for you too. The suns activity has been crazy lately. Not good for 20 but has been great for 10 & 6m!

@old-timeangler5356 Год назад

I would think that 3 or 4 wire counterpoise would be better than the screen, but the screen is better than nothing.

What SWR did you get, and what do you get when using radials in a comparable configuration? (The constant and too loud "background" music, by the way, is awful.)
