Comparing apples with oranges may lead that a banana is longer. Differrent modeling software converge that gain of a 2 elements optimized quad is not significatively different than gain of a two elem
But if you try to squeeze juice from them, and that's what you are looking for, then answer is very simple. :-) What you mean apples and oranges? I thought we are talking about apples (Yagis) and app
Comparing quad vs. yagi as apple vs. orange is obviously too ridicoulous. Sure as a ridiculous simplifications is to say that they have only different gains (1 or 2 dB, I dont care). Also I think it
Quad-Yagi & VE3BMV designed Razor (Quad/Yagi) beams on 2m antenna range 30 years ago and optimized them for best pattern (F/B, F/S) - gain compromise and 50 ohm impedance. The best quad design is 3 e
results to. Yuri, I am curious. Have you ever compared your single band scores with the equivalent W2PV band scores with and without all of those 2 point W's removed from your score? Did you ever go
This is not a very useful comparison, especially today, considering how long W2PV's been dead. I might as well discuss how well W6AM did with nothing but wires... -WB2WIK/6 "If everything seems under
Hi, I agree with Mike that you can't compare antenna performance with a station who is hundreds of miles away, but, OTOH, I still remember (in those times I was member of YU1EXY crew) how loud VE3BMV
Mirko, At the same time, if you recall, how loud was N2AA? Even farther (hundreds of miles) to the south, but still in the northeastern U.S., relatively speaking. WB2WIK/6 "If everything seems under
quiet Look guys, I am not going to engage in pissing contest or arguments. All I am trying to relate my experiences with real life antennas and shed some light at some soft modeling "results." If you
Hi Steve, as far as I can recall, N2AA had always outstanding signal in SE Europe and was usually the first one of "over the pond" stations we heard and worked. Especially it's true for low bands. Ot
