Hi, All! How many elements the tri-bander can have to match this category? Another question - the multi-element-multi-band quad antennas are very popular in the exUSSR. Usually such antennas use sepa
Hi Oleg, If your quad antenna is have 3 bands 20,15,10 then its tribander Same situation with yagi antennas even if its use separate cable for each band 73 Al 4L5A http://contesting.at-communication.
Im sorry Oleg I just check rules and its say ONE feedline in point C Im sorry 73 Al 4L5A http://contesting.at-communication.com http://dxing.at-communication.com http://forum.at-communication.com ___
Hi Oleg a) Tribander/Single Element (TB-WIRES): During the contest an entrant shall use only one (1) tribander (any type, with a single feed line from the transmitter to the antenna) for 10, 15, and
This is wrong interpretation. "(a) Tribander/Single Element (TB-WIRES): During the contest an entrant shall use only one (1) tribander (any type, with a single feed line from the transmitter to the a
I am not thrilled with this Tri-band and wires category. I know some have entered that have a wire beam on 40. Plus why would a single band entry be different from a normal Single Bnad entry? I have
Tom, Alex, Timothy, Ryan, gentlemen, thank you for the discussion... It looks like there are different interpretations of the rule. I am not going to entry in this class (in spite of my station may c
<quote> Is my station eligible for the Tribander/Single-Element category? The purpose of this category is to enable competition by similarly equipped stations, thus the restrictions on the number and
So a Quad, with a single boom (obviously) all interlaced, that can operate on 20-15-10, but has seperate feedlines does not fit, but if it had a remote coax switch it would? or would it not still sin
As to receive antennas, I'd allow for 1 beverage or for a combination of smaller, compact antennnas (K9AY, pennant, etc). 73 Rich NN3W _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest maili
Hello Randy, What is the rationale or thought behind the "one feedline" from a tribander (or quad) rule opposed to separate feedlines? I believe some manufacturers offer these choices as an option (F
Thanks for the clarification, Randy, As far as I understand the 10-15-20 quad antenna should comply with the rules if only one feedline is used from the station to the antenna (to the switching box).
Hi Randy, Maybe a tribander should be defined as having only one driven element for all 3 bands. OK, back in my hole, Ron, KU7Y SOWP 5545M Caldwell, ID ku7y@qsl.net __________________________________
I will take a stab at it - Multiple feedlines can allow SO2R with gain and F/B, such as with the C31XR. Ryan, N2RJ -- Ryan A. Jairam, _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailin
So a quad even if it's only a two element spider like quad will not qualify. I actually don't know how to fix this.,, Maybe go by the amount of gain? i dunno, Joe WB9SBD The Original Rolling Ball Clo
Yes, the rule wording for the low-band antennas is not clear. As written "...and single-element antennas on 40, 80, and 160 meters", it is not clear if that means ONE antenna for each of 40/80/160, o

First time I read about the TB-Wire Overlay came to my mind the typical little station with a three element tribander (TH3, TA33, etc) with a couple of inverted vees sharing a common feedpoint. I bel
Yes, you are correct. The goal of the overlay category is to provide a competition for a very "common" class of station. As we can see from the reflector messages there are always people looking to s
I wasn't involved in the original drafting of this rule, but I suspect the purpose was to impose some limitations on the number of tribanders in use (one feedline = one antenna). It has also provided
