- And the winner is... I just had the rare opportunity to compare two very different 40m antennas "side-by-side" and thought the results would be of interest. I've had a 40m 4-square with 60 buried rad

- 1-2 S-units louder than the 4-square. This should be no surprise. Even a dipole up 1/2 wavelength will beat a 4-square. I recall a dipole's gain is in the order of 2-3 dB over a vertical for equivale

- Hello Dick, I'm not surprised, although the 6 dB per S unit estimate may be 'optimistic'. MOST receivers I've measured are 'generous' below S9, sometimes being only 1 to 3 dB per S unit. This can be

- Remember that a 4 square is only a 2 el vertical array with the ability to put out a uni-directional pattern in different directions. A vertical is down 2 or 3 DB from a half wave dipole at one half

- A four square actually functions as a three-element in-line array, not as a two element array. The "center" two elements fed in-phase act as one element, giving the proper 1:2:1 current distribution

- I'll believe your test, but a better test is a simple dipole against a simple vertical. That way, implementation problems of the 4-square and Yagi don't confuse the results. This must vary with locat

- This is correct but the dipole has to be at least half a lambda up in the air. Forexample, 4SQ gives approx 5.5 dBi and with losses in near field lets say 4.5 dBi, a dipole at 1/2 wl gives approx 7 d
