"V" and long wire antenna performance will be enhanced
by striving to meet the following criteria:
Maximize the length of wire (up to approximately 60
feet or 18 m.). The total length of the antenna should
be at least 25 feet (7.6 m).
Maximize the separation between the antenna wire and
the aircraft structure. This is usually achieved by
attaching the tensioner as high as possible on
vertical stabilizers.
The wing type "V" is one of the most effective HF
antennas which can be utilized on an aircraft. It is
well suited for slow and moderate speed aircraft which
require optimum HF communication and performance. It
will exhibit a rather omnidirectional radiation pattern
and provide good efficiency at all frequencies. It has
the disadvantages of having high drag, and on low wing
aircraft is prone to being walked into. The length of
a wing tip "V" antenna is usually 30 to 45 feet (9.2 to
13.7 m).
