Thanks so much to all of you who responded to my concerns about the U.S. Towers tubular crankups and the TH7DX vs KT-34XA/KT-34A debate. I was greatly reassured by several of the replies on the U.S.
In the flurry of posts I've made to this reflector in the past several weeks concerning big tribanders and 4-square arrays, the issue of F/B ratio came up time and time again. For the tribanders, the

I've had an 80m delta loop suspended at about 75-feet from a tall spruce tree for three years and the wire keeps breaking at the corners or at the apex. I'm probably putting too much tension on it, s
How many buried radials did you use? They sure work well on my 4-square -- 60 radials per element, which is about the minimum you should use. _______________________________________________ See: http
