I am in the process of clearing land for full size 80m 4SQ. I have two questions for the group: 1) How much and what kind of degradation should I see if I place the 4SQ elements around my tower. The

The 9 el is just an extension of the basic 3 elements in line building block of the W1FV design. I think that it is great that DXCC is selling the kits to build these arrays. Personally I think the 9

Good point Tom, beginning with too little drive would require more load C than is available. That and the brass washer should be installed also. The SB1000 is the same as an early AL80A. It hits the

If it is being driven with 50 watts or more and does not tune into a 50 ohm  load, I'd carefully inspect the entire tank circuit and wiring of the tank.  This includes the switch (as Herb suggested).
