Hi Guys,
I've got a ground mounted 1/4 wave 40-meter vertical located at the edge
of a saltwater river. Before sunset tonight, I want to add a 1/4 wave
reflector behind it to add a little more gain towards Europe. (a fun little
experiment) I'm only looking for one direction with this antenna: towards
Europe... so I'll be end firing it NE with the reflector to the SW of the
driven element.
A couple quick questions:
1) Should I locate the reflector 1/4 wave (33') behind the driven element
or is there a better distance to use for a simple and quick setup?
2) I'm looking for the simplest method of feeding these antennas as I have
limited parts at this temporary location: a T-connector and coax! Would
the use of a UHF T-Connector and then individual feedlines to each of the 2
verticals be the quickest way to connect them? If so, any recommendations
for feedline lengths?
Thanks!
Dick- K9OM/4
