I would ask a slightly different question first: Is a 4 square even the right antenna to be using from CX ? What would you work at 135 and 225 degrees ? There are other vertical antenna configuration
I agree. And another question -- "will a vertical or horizontal antenna be more effective and your QTH?" Take a look at http://k9yc.com/VertOrHorizontal-Slides.pdf Vertically polarized antennas are s
How effective is a vertical dipole? (Does not depend on a ground return.) Sure, height above ground might change the pattern. Lee, w0vt http://k9yc.com/VertOrHorizontal-Slides.pdf Vertically polarize
Did you look at the pattern? A 4SQ is not that directive. If you are off by 30 degrees you may lose a dB of gain. John KK9A Hello What´s the width angle of a single antenna in a 4SQ system? In USA I
Did you look at the link I posted? http://k9yc.com/VerticalDipole.pdf Also see http://k9yc.com/VerticalHeight.pdf 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ ________________________
Doing this will put the weakest signal (-2.5 dB) at 350 degrees instead of 0. John KK9A Hello Jorge, The common 4sq orientation in the eastern U.S. is 45/135/225/315 degrees. That simply is to put th
