Recent success here with 23-foot-high W8JI-style short receiving verticals in a 4-element broadside/endfire array using variable phasing has led me to make plans for other sets to cover additional di
I've read of the 36-foot-high base-loaded elements ON4UN described in his book, and understand these would have a slightly narrower bandwidth than an element with top-hat wires. But what about an el
But what about an element loaded with a coil at the center or at the top? Would there be advantages to that approach that would come close to the short verticals with top-hat wires, or any serious di
I have used this same setup for my 4-square 160m receive array for years. Since I have to take down and put up this array every spring/fall, I have to re-tune each element for the 160m band. I have f

Hi Doug, A few notes about the short verticals in my 160M passive receive array. I use them in my W8JI broadside-endfire passive array described in detail on Tom's home page and on W5ZN's home page.
A possible answer might be here: http://www.legupenterprises.com/ They sell predator urine which discourages animals from going near the smell. My YL uses it to keep the squirrels out of her flowers
At the speeds that deer run across an open field, I doubt that repellant will help. Seven foot fence posts work perfectly, and they will last a lifetime! 73 Frank W3LPL -- Original Message -- A possi
Doesn't faze the deer around here. They come right up to the house and the fenced kennels and munch on whatever they like. That stuff may do something with the small animals but the Eagle, Great Hor

ON4UN describes a method of "over swamping" the base of the topless verticals used in his four-square receive array. On 80M, he switches in additional series resitance to arrive at a total feedpoint
Thanks Tom and others for detailed comments on this issue. I understand the focus on bandwidth, presumably to keep the phasing constant across 100 kHz or less of 160 meters, and see how that would be
Hi Jon, I've also found that my four phased short verticals consistently outperform my Beverages, especially when arrival angles are low. Sometimes I can copy signals on the phased averticals that I

Most of those birds and other winged predators have been seen or heard here and keep the rodents managable. I take care of some squirrels and chipmunks with .22 shorts in a rifle and a competition gr
