The location is "Cabo Carvoeiro" (Cape Carvoeiro) located near the city of Peniche and of course the building is a lighthouse so that doesn't count as an answer, the antenna is a T type being the top part made of 2 parallel cables (lenght is 92m height is 27m), so could be probably a simple T with more bandwidth or sort of a terminated loop. There's also the possibility of beeing 2 antenas in redundance! Sory but I don't have more exact technical details.
The question is: what's the purpose of the antenna?
Anyhow the late antenna is almost as good as the HF one I putted in my alternative shack.... made in 20 minutes...
can't get more simple than this...2 pieces of wire forming a dipole. Not perfect but much better than using the VHF antenna (it was for reception only!)...Meanwhile I have been busy with other stuf so you have to wait for some more solderings... maybe next week.
