- Hi all, I would like to hear from people that have tried or compared a 2-3 element vertical array vs a 2 element yagi for 40m. I don't have a yagi, but I can maybe put a 2(3) element vertical array.

- Hi Josep, By far, the absolute BEST antenna that I've ever used on 40-meters was an inverted 3-element Bobtail Array (dubbed "The Robert Tail Array" in an early edition of the ARRL's "ANTENNA COMPEND

- Hi, Josep: Given the simplicity and minimal expense, the 2 element vertical performs well. Before being able to afford the Comtek 4-square phasing system last year I had a 2-element 40-meter array up

- FWIW I get well over 20dB side nulls from a 2el Cushcraft clone and about 15-20dB off the rear which varies by arrival angles. With a pair stacked the rejection is often better and beinng able to upp

- Your vertical array is of the "driven" (not parasitic) type. A 2 element driven array can, if properly tuned, have a F/B of 20, 30 or even 40 dB at some particular angle. A 2 element parasitic array

- As far as verticals are concerned, since 2003 I have had great success with a Half Square antenna on 80. (descriptions in the ARRL Antenna Book and in ARRL Antenna Compendium No. 5) I have also used
