Hi all,
I would like to use a multiband vertical like the butternut HF9V in a
phased manner
near a saltwater location. The use will be for 80m thru 10m.
I have seen the F12 SVDA etc, but individual verticals are out due to
weight being
a factor. I would like to switch bands with ease. I am OK with manual
intervention, when
switching between say 80m cw to ssb or vice-versa. However, would like
to jump between
say 40-10m with ease.
I normally rely on a 2ele steppir with 40m trombone for higher bands.
However, if a couple of
butternuts with some phasing network will do an excellent job, i am
open to trying.
Esp, since the saltwater will do wonders with the vertical and also in
case the logistics at the location
prevents raising/securing the 2ele steppir on a mast.
I understand that there will be no one size fits all spacing due to the
multi-band requirement.
However, a magic optimal will be nice.
This is one product i came across -
http://www.arraysolutions.com/Products/2elmultibandverticals.htm
However, if there are limitations and if i need to build a custom box to
support all the bands, then please let me
know your thoughts. Willing to try, since i have some time to put it all
together and test.
