Any of you antenna gurus out there ever tried a simple dipole, with a
director on each side of it? In other words , string a dipole, then place a
set of directors, parallel, and on both sides at once? I havent been able to
make head or tails of these antenna design software packages, guess I need to
set in a class to actually see one work. What I have is temporary loops
installed for 17 and 12 meters, and have constructed "director" dipoles which
I have hung on verticle bamboo poles , just in front (facing East) of them.
Appears to be working better than just the plain loop - for that direction of
course. But, am wondering if I can get bidirectional antennas out of them by
hanging two such directors. Dont want to go thru the "phase switch" method
etc. Just experiementing to see what I can use on field days, scout
camporees etc.
Thanks
