For the first time in about 2 years, I measured the resonant frequency of my 160 meter dipole. I was surprised at the results but not completely. When I put the dipole up, I did not have an antenna a

Hi it's an interesting discussion about the dipoles. I want to put up an inverted vee dipole for 160. I can put the apex at 15,30,45 or 60m and have >90 degree apex angle. The ground is very good and

I had full size 160M dipoles (not inverted vees) up at 9 meters and 18 meters for about six months and did a lot of A/B'ing of them. On receive, there was never any difference in audible S/N ratio. T

I am well aware of this, which is why I put relays at the feed points to open up the dipole that was not in use. An isolated pair of 1/4 wave wires has virtually no effect on a nearby dipole. Rick N6

RDF is the key point to improve signal noise, not gain. Vertical or low dipole has very or none directivity, so low RDF or directivity does not improve signal noise. In general, this is the case, but

Sorry, I gave the number for a 1/2 wavelength Beverage not a one wavelength. The one wavelength Beverage is 8.6 dB and the 1/2 wavelength Beverage is 7.9 dB. Jerry, K4SAV ___________________________

That's very true. Consider the K9AY. The RDF is about 7.7. Compare that to a 1 wavelength Beverage which is about 7.9 dB. The K9AY has a deep null in the 180 degree direction at the right elevation a

I guess it's too early in the morning. I also misquoted the 1/2 wavelength Beverage RDF number. W8JI has a table with RDF numbers here: http://www.w8ji.com/receiving.htm Another example of surprising

This is why anecdotal reports of great receiving antennas should be taken with a grain of salt. If the user had a dominant noise source in one direction, a receiving antenna with modest RDF, but with
