Until recently, I had phased verticals on both 80m and 160m and lots of beverages. (this was in a woods, and not my property) Then the loggers came and destroyed all. In addition to the antennas, th
That is 1/4 wave separation - not half-wave. One half wave on 80 is roughly 139 feet (984/3.55/2 = 138.6 feet). Since you are using 1/4 wave spacing and a PVS-2 (which is a quadrature device if I re
Joe...I was wrong in my post. My verticals are 1/2 wave apart on 80m, which is the same as 1/4 wave on 160. After writing my message, I went back and added the 66' for clarity, and should have bee
That changes things ... Seems to me you have two options ... feed them in phase which provides a bidirectional pattern *broadside* or feed them out of phase which provides a bidirectional pattern *e
This looks like the Engineering Phasing report mentioned. I have an older version, this one seems to be reformatted. Give it a try. http://www.classicinternational.eu/_clientfiles/info_extra/hygainph
Just double the length of the phasing lines and then they will reach. Herb, KV4FZ After writing my message, I went back and added the 66' for clarity, and should have been 132' You are correct, using
I really DO have 80m verticals that are 1/2 wave apart. (incidentally I share the radial fields with the 160m antennas which are 1/4 wave apart) So the question remains, how to properly feed phased v
