All these accounts of monstrous antenna arrays are very impressive. My question is - are they truly necessary? What is the advantage they convey? Does the advantage justify the cost over some smaller

Good points. My 5 el HyGain 205BA at 110' will generally punch through ANY pileup with only a handful of calls (usually one is enough). I have noticed that it will regularly beat out other stations t

A vertical stack can overcome the path nulls on a wide vertical angle whose fact is generally more effective than concentrating all the power on a single antenna of a stated height. Ten meters are pe

west coast is generally a matter of very low angles on 10m, east coast it's not, expecially with a wide open propagation. An antenna system which is excellent at 3&deg; but unable to manage angles in

Whenever I hear about some enormous array or other equipment setup, I recall the article in QST some years ago where W1GKK was interviewed about DXing. W1GKK was and is the only ham to work EVERY cou

I also have a remote tuned inverted V on 80M up at 110'. Now this will beat out 4 squares into EU. Mike, W1NR My inverted V never beat out anything that I know of! Chuck W5PR ________________________

Doesn't work that way any more. Packet pileups killed the art of tuning and listening (and I'm guilty of being lazy and waiting for the spot too!) At times, it's very hard to bust the huge pileups th

Yes it still does work that way. Nowdays you just have to be first. You can achieve Top of the Honor Roll by being first 335 times. :-) -- Bill, W6WRT ________________________________________________

Hi Bill Remember Howie, W2QHH. He was another great one. Worked 'em all and the highest power he ever ran was a Viking Ranger at 75 watts to a long wire antenna. 73 Tiom W7WHY _______________________
