We used a full-size bottom-fed four-square array at VK0IR for 40m
(the "Heard Island Special"). Performance was outstanding, and one
of the nicest features of the four-square was instant direction switching
(instead of waiting for a rotator to turn). I'm sold on them. When I have
the room, I will be building a full-size four-square array for 80, probably
using Rohn 25 with base insulators.

Subject: [TowerTalk] 80 Mtr Yagi on SSV Tower?
INFO REQUESTED. A friend saw a 3 el 80 Mtr yagi on a SSV type tower a few
years back on the cover of a magazine. We would like to get in touch with
anyone with such a system or who knows of such a system. Of concern is
the specific tower used and antenna type.
Has anyone used phased shunt fed towers on 80 Mtrs? Of specific interest
is a 4 Square configuration.
Thanks
