I have a 90' shunt fed stick of 45G that works well on Topband with about 20 quarter wave radials. I just obtained another 90' of 45G with a BCB tower base insulator which I'd like to put up at the proper distance for a phased array on both 160 and 80. I'm assuming the 1/4 wave on 160 would be about 130' which would be a half wave on 80 and that they would have to be fed via different networks. Has anybody done this? Does the shunt fed tower work in a phased array situation, or would I be better off just using the insulated tower as a Marconi single element vertical? 73, Paul W0AD All good topband ops know how to put up a beverage at night. _________________ Topband Reflector |
