Hi Ashraf,

The rule of thumb I use is 2D^2 /lambda, where D is the largest dimension of the antenna. So if your Bev is 320m long you need to be over a km away. If only 160m long you need to be 300 m away.

73, and I hope to work you one of these days at my SR.

Hi All,

I used a 1.843 oscillator to check NA beverage F/B. The mesurements were
taken 160m away from each end of the antenna. Noise level was constant. I
had 4 dB difference between front and back signals.

Is that what I should expect? Is 1 wavelength distance enough to do this
experience?
This will be repeated with different terminations and I want to make sure
I'm doing it correctly. It will also be applied on the newly installed BOG
to determine optimum length.

Tnx and see you on the air!
