You can see the edge of my "Convoluted Antenna" for 80 Meters at the right rear corner of the workshop.

My Antenna Farm. There is a horizontal 40 meter loop antenna around the top of this garden trellis, and a short loop for 20 meters that shows as the vertical square of PVC pipe (you can possibly make out the tuning stub connection at the bottom). The 20 meter loop rotates through 90 degrees on PVC hinges.

This shows the feed loop for the full sized 40 meter loop, and if you look closely you can see the 2-plate tuning capacitor for the 40 meter loop.

This shows details of the feed loop and coaxial balun for the 40 meter loop.

This shows the physical structure of an experimental 80 meter Convoluted Dipole (i.e. multi-folded dipole). There is a coaxial balun feeding this antenna. The side structure is for another Convoluted Dipole on 30 meters but that is not yet installed. This will be fed in parallel from the same coax as the 80- meter dipole. Not really visible here is a 64 foot marconi antenna that wraps around the building just under the eves and is fastened to clear plastic block insulators.
