With all due respect:
The FCP is a dipole. One end is vertical while the other is weaved horizontal
on or near the ground.
The 1:1 isolation Trasformer / Balun serves its purpose as well as stopping
those nasty common mode
conditions.
The FP and CY9 came on and I was not able to work them single hop conditions
just did not favor me. I heard
CY9 on and off but QSB just hindered me. If any one worked them with the same
distance as I but with the
FPC then there is some high angle component.
I had thought that low angle radiation is what is desired for 160M. So what
does the FPC patterns show
on the mapping program?
Stay on course, fight a good fight, and keep the faith. Jim K9TF/WA9YSD
