To all! STUCK with that single radiation diagram?
Why do you keep putting up 1 and 1 antenna? Why not making the Extended Double
Zepp into another 2 to 128 different antennas at the same time, on that
single wire?
My present antennas is 2x48m long and got 8 pneumatic switches, 4 in each leg.
I can convert the antenna into Extended Double Zepp for 80-40-20 and 10m + a
lot of other combinations which alter the beam directions of the antenna, 128
different antennas in one go, or less switches for fewer combinations.
Switching takes 10 to 40 seconds depending on how long the pneumatic lines are
( od3mm id 1,2mm, operating at 1 bar)
Of cause a good antenna tuner is a must, I use a tuner which stores presets
according to what antenna antenna combination and frequency is used, all
operated from the PC.
If interesting look at the description here;

Gents,
I don't like nit-pickers so I hope I don't sound like one.
It's called an Extended Double Zepp. And it's a very versatile antenna.End-fed
1/2 wave = Zepp Center-fed full wave = Double ZeppCenter-fed 1.28 waves =
Extended Double Zepp
The advertised gain is 3 db broadside but that's if you can get it a half-wave
up.
I have one at home and it's my primary 80/40/30 horizontal antenna.
I also keep two of them in my FD antenna box and hang them at 90° to each
other. I daisy-chain two tuners for quick antenna switching and they work great
on all bands, 80 and up.
End of soapbox....

Hi Greg,
No secrets here!
Have you considered a double extended Zepp? If you don’t need an out of phase
pattern with a broadside null, it’s essentially the same gain as a collinear.
Of course, since the pattern is fairly narrow, you have to have a specific DX
target in mind, or the gain goes to waste.

I have been eavesdropping on your conversation and would LOVE to be
included in any email group that you may have going on. I have room for
an 80 meter 2 ele colinear antenna as you are describing and only need
20 some countries on 80 to finish 5BDXCC.
I have only bought one commercial antenna in my 46 years as a ham and
love to experiment with them. Thanks if you include me, for the
opportunity to listen in and see what comes up!

The info in Ch 11 of ON4UN's book is almost all about verticals, so won't be of
much help.
I've attached four EZNEC models of a two element collinear dipole array for 20m.
Two are just dipoles with separate current sources, one in phase, the other 180
degrees out of phase. This lets you see what the patterns are without worrying
about the feed system. You can look at the feed Z of each antenna to see what
you have to drive.
The other two models have coax feed systems. When in-phase the two elements
each have about a 100 ohm Z, so you can use two half-wavelength (or multiples
of 1/2 wl) feedlines and just parallel them at the common point. They can be
any impedance, but the losses and bandwidth will be best with 75 ohm lines.
When out of phase, the elements each have about a 50 ohm Z, so you can use 3/4
wavelength 75 ohm lines to transform the impedance to 100 ohms so the two can
be paralleled for a 50 ohm feed at the common point. (There are many other
feed arrangements possible, too.)
If you want to switch the patterns in the real world, you'll have to figure out
how to switch the cable lengths and invert the phase.
Let me know if this is what you're looking for.

Hello Group:
I would like to have a discussion off list about designing a 20 Meter
Colinear dipole array.
Right now I am trying some simulations in EZNEC and am referencing the Low
Band DXing
Book by ON4UN with regard to the Phasing of the two or multiple antennas.
I'm having a bit of difficulty in replicating some the work ON4UN and the
volume authors
Did on the understanding of the Array Chapter number 11.
Anyone who has tried building collinear antennas at HF?? I know that Tom
W8JI has
Done this on a massive scale and that is not what I am trying to accomplish
here.
Just two simple collinear dipoles fed either in phase or out of phase.
The EZNEC simulations seem to blow up when the phasing and matching networks
are
Applied to the two antennas.
