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

for equivalent grounds. I meant to say 2-3 dB over a 4-square...not a single vertical. 73, Bill W4ZV

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

Dick, More is better in one facet of life I participate in - antennas! I never cease to be amazed at how antennas HEAR differently...as such current efforts at my station are to increase diversity of

Hi Bill Those were good reference articles attached to the email... all I can add is my pair of phased HV2 verts are happy as a clam and play great on the salt water beach here on Puget Sound! Loud d

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
