Good price. Jim Wilson, who built these antennas is N7JW. He can be
reached via his call book address. He lives in Utah now altho Wilson
Electronics is in Nevada. I had a 4 el Wilson 10 and a 7 el Wilson
10...that 7 el on 34' boom was a real killer. The 6 el on 30' boom was
part of that set.
I still agree with Stan W7NI...I think you can model the beam now and get
more gain and as important ...more bandwidth.
I saw in another message that you had ( Chuck Sudds) a KT34XA. I feel you
will find that this antenna plays about as well as the XA. The XA was used
for the USA 10 meter record in 1988 by W4ZV (then W0ZV).
>Roger Cox at HyGain has suggested a 6-7ft spacing between this antenna and
a >20M monobander. Any further thoughts?
Sounds right altho most say 10 feet.....
