Vertical arrays are mono band. You need one for 160 , another for 80, and if
you want 40 and 30 two more. Also they needs a lot of phasing cables and a
large real state area far from constructions.
Far from it ... the YCCC "9 circle" is a phased array receiving antenna
that covers 160-40 meters in a 120' diameter circle (45 degree
increments). The 5 element square (90 degree increments) fits in an
85 foot square.
RDF of the YCCC array is comparable to that of a .625 x 1.25 wavelength
BSEF array on 160 meters in about 1/8 the area. The 80 meter RDF of the
YCCC array is comparable to a 1.5 wavelength (1000') Beverage.
See Sept/Oct and Nov/Dec 2011 issues of NCJ.
