Hi
Name is Randy KK7TV. I have a kt34xa and a 40c2 on a rotating
tower. They are both KLM's. I have had them up for 12 years. I am
thinking of building a Quad, 4 elements on a 30 foot boom. 10-20
including WARC. I know the 40 m beam must come down. I have compared
my signal with a ham close to me that has the same quad I want to
build. We tried 20-17-15 m.
He smoked me to Europe and to VK ZL and over the pole. In the morning,
evening and late night.
I am convinced that my system is working good so I can rule out faulty
gear. Has anybody else
tried this with a close-by ham?. What do you think, a quad will hold
up fine here in AZ and I can lower the tower for the stormy season.
BTW if you want to see the shack it is on the web site listed below.
Thanks for all your thoughts.
Best 73
Randy
