Hi all I need advice from some more experienced with stacking about possible setup. Have self-standing tower abt 18 mtr, mast 50 mm (2") 5-6 metres long Antennas are three monoband yagis as follows 2
Unless the monobanders have been designed to operate in a stack ("Christmas tree"), stacking them as closely as will be needed to stay within your 5m mast will certainly reduce their performance. If
I agree with Joe, W4TV, but, would add the comment: PUT THE 20M monobander on TOP of the stack .. that is .. invert it, with the 10m on the BOTTOM. 73 Don N8DE Unless the monobanders have been design
Thank you I will probably try 10/15/20 from lowest to highest with spacing of app. 8 feets. 73 Fudo ________________________________________ From: TowerTalk [towertalk-bounces@contesting.com] on beha
Good Afternoon Fudo, May I suggest before you invest into doing this, you review W6QHS/W6NL and N6BT's published materials on the "christmas tree". Both found the performance, regardless of which yag
Hi Billy Thank you for sharing your experience. I supposed that required configuration will not work as expected. It seems that available tower /height,spacing/ not allow optimal spacing between ante
Given the short distance between top and bottom antennas, is there a benefit to this kind of array vs. interlaced monobanders on a common boom? That's exactly the reason I asked if the monobanders ha
Exactly, best way to decide to stay with 2 antennas per small tower and then tweak them to have best fine tuning for my specific micro location You given to me more direction where to go what saves
For a couple of years I had three homebrew monobanders on a single tower at P40A and it worked nicely. I had the 20m and 15m beams on the mast and the 10m beam was on a ring rotator well below the ot
Antennas are three monoband yagis as follows 20m 4el 9,5m boom 15m 5el 9,6m boom 10m 5el 7,6m boom For SO1R, even if this works without interaction (unlikely), it is at best marginally better than a
Can I step back and ask a bigger-picture question? Given the short distance between top and bottom antennas, is there a benefit to this kind of array vs. interlaced monobanders on a common boom? In F
