Real interesting comments from everyone in response to my questions--thanks. Yes I assumed some sort of balun would be used--I made no mention of it because it is a standard part of yagi design usual

Hi Dick, I must say that I have never seen the yagi evaluation report, but I did get the one for verticals. I had put up a Gap Titan. I was getting signal reports on 40 meters of 10 db over S9 runnin

There have been two or three non-antenna posts to tower talk lately from people who say they did not know about other reflectors such as Amps and RFI. I thought I'd mention that if you go to http://l

If you were going to try the Y idea, it would be better to flip the Ys so you have two radials tapering into one. Here's why--in the near field, you have most of your return current and that is where

hi Dave, that's a real interesting way of sectionalizing a tower. where did you get those insulator assemblies? the sectionalized towers I've seen before had each leg insulated but the base pivoted.

Hi, AM broadcast stations don't use 25 all that often so insulators for it are kind of unusual. Rohn used to make a bottom taper and insulator so you might give them a try, or whoever is making the R

I know that's been done before, at least with fairly short verticals (1/4 w. 80 m.; maybe even 1/4 w. on 160) but since a top section is really made to handle holding a mast I do not know how much do

Hi Neal, If you are writing about the mast that's aluminum, 65 feet tall and uses 11 six foot sections, I'd avoid it myself. The bottom is 2" o.d. and this tapers down to around .6" at the top. Perso
