Perzactly. It is N2IC being a realist, at least as far as Boulder County
is concerned.

Subject: 40 meter phased array
Message-ID: <m0uoXTc-000f4YC@mgate.arrl.org>
Sorry to talk about a contest antenna here, but here goes ;-)
Am planning to build a 2-element wire phased array
for 40 meters. (It used 1/8-wave spacing, for my 'small'
lot.) This would have raised radials. My question is,
has anyone tried building a 2-element antenna
like this using the "Christman" feed method?
This appears in "Low Band DXing" (2nd ed.) on page
11-25, Figure 11-28. Any 'hints or kinks' to offer? See
any problem with using 75-ohn coax instead of the
specified 50-ohm coax for the phasing lines? (Then
using 50-ohm coax to the shack?) Any construction
thoughts would be appreciated.
(This antenna would be designed to send RF across
a lake, out towards Europe, not towards my neighbors.)
