GAP Titan DX maintenance and SWR fixes.
I had to remove the antenna last week-end due to maintenance works into the roof, so I took the occasion to play a little bit with the Titan tuing rods. I Found this schema on the net originally made by CT1EFV based on the GAP picture. I made some minor changes, expecially to the 10
I’ve taken some pictures during the antenna setup. Assembling the GAP Titan DX is not as simple as it may appear, in particular if english is not your own language. Technical terms are often obscure to many ham radio amateurs the usually knows ham-lingo… I don’t hide the fact that more than once, I’ve had
Here you are some pictures I’ve taken during the GAP TItan DX antenna assembling. Hope these pics will help you setting up the antenna. All what I can suggest you is to carefully read the original GAP instruction booklet that comes with the antenna. A copy can be downloaded even from the GAP web site.
This week-end I’ve finally setup my new vertical antenna. I’ve taken some snapshots during the assembling procedure and will post later on in a dedicated page.
After evaluating HF vertical antennas I’ve finally choosen and ordered my new vertical hf antenna. Gap Titan DX is the choosen one. According to characteristics and price the Titan resulted the one with the best price / performance ratio. I ordered at Wimo (german ham radio dealer) and it arrived in 3 days via UPS.
A new wire antenna on my roof for the 40 meters band, and on the field comparison with the GAP Titan DX.
Planning to setup a double bazooka antenna for 7 MHz during next months to verify performance of the Gap Titan DX on that band. I feel like the GAP is not so well performing on that band and I’m goint to setup for the CW portion of the 40 meters. This is the basic schema

DL9KCE released a new version of his ICNIRPcalc software that allows you to calculate safety distances for many know amateur radio antennas with respect to ICNIRP limits. Calculations are done by considering many depending factors, like your Antenna characteristics, Band, Gain, Power Output, Coax Line, additional attenuation and many more. By variating any of these
