Here is what is wrong with this oft quoted "wisdom": When there is a run station every 300 Hz, it becomes difficult to distinguish between a station calling me off-frequency vs a station calling my "

I've had a lot of private discussions with N6LF about these tests. First of all, let me say that, unlike many other QST antenna articles, you can actually believe this one. Rudy did his measurements

How did you determine it worked great? In most two element arrays the impedance of the rear element is virtually a short circuit. The second amplifier goes to waste as it cannot deliver any significa

I'm not sure that perfect ground is the same as "lots" of radials, where "lots" is 60 half wave radials. You are modeling, I measured real antennas. The measurements were done on 20 meters, so there

I built a 2 element driven array of top loaded 27 meter verticals that were spaced 30 meters apart. It worked about as predicted, with around 4 dB forward gain and 15 to 20 dB F/B. The bandwidth was

There is a point of diminishing returns on the sloping top loading wires. The radiation resistance increases with increasing length up to a point and then decreases with further lengthening. IMHO, yo

You don't need a 1/4 wavelength = 134 ft. You actually get more gain with 1/8 wavelength. Less is more. Anything in between is OK too. Rick N6RK _______________________________________________ UR RST

Rather than going to that trouble, simply tune for maximum front to back ratio. If you get a 20+ dB null off the back, you can be sure the currents are equal and at the correct angle. Rick N6RK _____

I'm still confused. The loop has an unloaded Q of about 100. Somehow, this is "matched" to Zo with a 10% bandwidth. Where is the lossy element if not R1. Could it be core loss in the MPP core? Why co

No this is not correct. The highly conductive ground causes the current to drop off and renders the wire beyond a certain length useless. Because it is effectively a short Beverage, it won't have a g
