Hi All:
Thanks to Steve, VE6WZ, I was able to do some
ground wave testing of the 5 element 10 meter yagi at 35 feet,
and the TH-3 at 72 feet.
Steve is about 3 miles away from me across a large valley. (I will be
measuring the distance when I get to work on my computer with
the GPS hook up)
Here are the results:
510 TH-3
Gain: 11.7 dBi 9.04 dBi
-3 dB 48 deg. 60.6 deg.
F/B 20 dB 16 dB
Pretty much what you would expect from these antennas.
Kind a nice also to see that the computer modeling I did worked
out to be quite close to the real world with the 510. Better F/B than
predicted, but real close on the forward gain.
Just some more unscientific results.
