I have a question for the group about experiences with different antennas: I was looking at a recent issue of CQ at the local bookstore tonight (it wasn't the April issue) and in a column dealing wit

Well. Shoot, John. It really kinda depends, on your goals, your financial resources, and available real estate, target bands and target contact locations, and MORE... but my research tells me THE ANT

Whenever these statements that say a vertically polarized (single element) antenna is just as good as some sort of yagi (usually 2 elements and horizontal) appear, they almost always leave out one or

I agree with K4SAV - with only one minor exception... considering typical urban lot sizes, for many ham I think the cross-over band is 40 meters. Getting an 80 meter dipole up high enough, and long e

On the high bands the beams usually win out over my verticals but not always. I think much of it has to do with the incoming angle of the signal. The verticals are always noisier. I wish I had the mo

Again, it depends on height. EZNEC and similar software will show the dipole (in its favored direction) will equal the vertical at around 50 feet in transmit. In receive the dipole will generally be

The dipole, at 300 ft. on 160 doesn't beat the 1/4 w. vertical because even 300 feet on 160 isn't high enough. That's like around 35 feet high for a dipole on 20 meters. High enough to make plenty of

OK -- I will check them out. Maybe their 20/40/80 combination (85 feet) might fit in somehow... or the 100 foot 40/80/160 might if I fold down the ends a bit (maybe ten percent each side...) What I n

I do NOT recommend the 20/40/80 -- I helped a neighbor install one, and the 20M coil is causing more trouble than its worth. Go for the 80/40 _______________________________________________ _________
