Hello TopBanders,
I am the author of the original NCJ article, published in September/October
and November/December issues, which is the basis for the YCCC/DX Engineering
RX array. I also collaborated extensively with DXE to develop the kits that
are now available exclusively through DXE. I should also give credit to
Tim, K3LR, on the DXE side for pushing through the collaboration with YCCC
that led to these kits now being available. Please see:
http://www.dxengineering.com/search/brand/dx-engineering/product-line/yccc-r
eceive-vertical-array-kits-and-kit-packages. On the YCCC side, WW1M also
gets credit for the original design work on PCB's and custom enclosures.
You can download a copy of the user's manual from:
http://static.dxengineering.com/global/images/instructions/dxe-yccc-3inline.
pdf. There is extensive technical information on the arrays as well as
detailed kit building instructions in the manual. To learn more about
what's available, please read the manual. Please note that I have no
personal affiliation with DXE other than the collaboration I just described.
I make no money for my efforts.
Please direct your technical questions to mailto:yccctechsupport@verizon.net
and not to DX Engineering. The e-mail comes directly to me but I prefer you
send e-mail to this address rather than to my personal e-mail address. My
personal e-mail inbox fills up regularly with lots of unrelated messages and
it is easy for me to miss your e-mails. The tech support e-mail goes to a
separate inbox where it gets my immediate attention.
I would also be interested in hearing from others who have built and
installed one of these systems.
73, John W1FV

Subject: Topband: 9 circle array
Has anyone built the DX Engineering version of the YCCC 9 circle array ?I am
considering one and would like anyone's feedback. I have read the NCJ
article and was on the list for the original kit version until it got
squashed. Also is anyone using the W7IUV preamp with an array of verticals?
If so did you build it on a pc board or on perfboard?
Glenn, ww4b@ww4b.net
