The Gap Titan DX setup

Posted on May 22, 2010January 4, 2011 by Simone

Gap Titan DX Antenna 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 to use dictionary to correctly and fully understand instructions.

Of course the Italian manual version of the antenna is completing missing.  So i thought that my efforts in assembling and tuning this antenna shoudl have been concretized in a home made documentation.

  • Have a look to my GAP Titan DX picture library

While on dxzone you can find more GAP Titan DX documentation and pictures

    Buongiorno, cerco gentile possessore che con spirito radioamatoriale mi fornisca qualche foto, misura, e specifica dei componenti e minuteria impiegati dall’azienda produttrice dell’antenna che formano l’anello di contrappeso alla base dell’antenna Gap Titan 10-80 metri. Possiedo questa antenna regalatami da un collega ma ahimè senza gli elementi qui richiesti andati forse smarriti in fase di trasloco.Purtroppo mi servono le foto dal vivo e dei materiali impiegati. So per certo che i componenti che devo ricostruire sono in parte d’alluminio e in parte in PVC di uno spessore introvabile penso infatti di sostituirlo con della fibra di vetro se la trovo. Dai disegni inoltre non si evincono le misure del filo, il sistema di ancoraggio sul contrappeso o la minuteria per realizzarlo. Grazie comunque per l’aiuto. A presto e 73. . IU4JGI. Un sincero grazie. 73
    PS Il manuale di montaggio e disegni in bianco e nero dell’antenna ce li ho già.

    Does the yellow coax really need to go through the little hole? If so, why?

    I need help setting up my Gap Titan Antenna. Something is too long for 40 meters, The highest frequency on 40 meters is 6.787. At this point what part needs to be shortened, I am lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Douglas Flint K7WYR
