Our new "thickened" GP for 40 meter band
![Ground Plane 40 m](https://oh73elk.net/media/storage/f2/f29/f2963aa44989a13fecf6170e1a676fe4_r.jpeg)
This special Ground Plane antenna consists of eight wires vertical element 20 cm diameter and 12 m. long, capacitor for reactive compensation in series with the vertical element; 4 wires horizontally symmetrical resonant counterpoises 3 m. above ground. So that Elks can freely pass under it :-) SWR less than 1:1.1 in the range 7.0 to 7.3 MHz. Thanks to RA1AMO for help.
