Subject: Topband: Beverages 2 basic questions
Many thanks Dean, Carl, Mike, Joel and the rest of you who shared your
opinions about "why so many", probably I missed the point that 3 or 4 db
in directivity loss because of deeps is much more important that I figured
out and that could make a difference in a QSO or not.
Keep in mind that without considering a very few stations, being in LU
land I am really far away from all highly ham populated zones
About my second question...... no takers ??
I repeat it here again just in case.... I modified the text of the second
test for more clarity
Is there a meaninfull or simple way to determine if at my location is
worth to go from 600 to 900 feet?
Ive no idea what the propagation data for signal arrival angles are for
Argentina of if they even exist. To say its similar for US to AF as it is
for LU to EU as an example would be guesswork.
My suggestion would be to install a longer one and make A:B comparisons.
Since a Beverage is non resonant distance seperation doent have to be
extreme, 30-50' should be fine.
