Hello all,
I am planning to stack 2 Hy-Gain 204BA's..
I will use an Array Solutions Stack Match.
I know that I need to feed both antenna's with
the same length of coax.
My question is what is the best way to feed the antennas???
Can I use 1to1 antenna balun on each antenna or do I need to
connect the coax directly to the antenna and maybe use some
ferrite beads instead??
Any help along these lines would be very much appreciated...
73, Ted K2QMF

I recall that the Los Angeles Times published a photo of W6AM standing
at the top of his tower (at his house, not the rhombic farm) when he
was well into his 80s, but then Don was one of a kind.

A few of us (N6AW, N6TJ, and myself - AB6R at the time) did a good bit of
work for/with Don at the rhombic farm up to the time of his passing. he had
a good number of rhombics on the 24 acres, most hung from really tall
utility poles. it was not uncommon to see don up a pole doing something.
with that much wire and santa ana winds, repairing antennas was a frequent
mission. forget how many rhombics there were at the time but it must have
been really impressive when he had 125 or so acres. he talked about the
'north london' and 'south london' rhombics. a bit of exaggaration but there
were no directions left uncovered. his other location was long beach, a bit
north of downtown near the virginia country club where he had his final
cribbage or gin rummy game. at the long beach house he had a huge utility
pole and a variety of yagis strapped to the top stuck in the grass between
the street and the sidewalk as I recall. that location was key during the
great long beach earthquake. his mobile location was the big caddy or
lincoln with the kw mobile rig...
