STACKING ANTENAS

Sat Aug 24 21:31:04 EDT 1996

Hello all,
i'm looking for the ideal lenght of the RG 213, between a stacks on 10m,
7 over 7, i have this system in my qth, but i think the results must be 
better, i have 1 1/4 electrical wave lenght, but i would like to try
1 1/2. The 75 ohm cable is 1/4 electrical wave lenght.
On 15 meters i have 6 over 6, and 1 1/2 electrical wave lenght of the
RG 213 between the antenas, and of course 1/4 of 75 ohms cable. The results
on 15 are better than on 10m.
The distance between the antenas on 10m is 8 meters, and on 15 is 15meters.
I'd like to recive some informations,about this subject.
Best regards,
PP5JR ALSO PQ0MM AND ZX5J

That's good.  Keep, improve and maintain a complete file for your area.

This should include pictures, newspaper clippings (all the good things
hams do and all the other relevent stuff, trees falling, legal cases,
etc.).

Forgot to mention that in my earlier stuff.

Yes, Greg, it is a tough decision. I thought of changing mine, but as
primarily a CW contester, I get a kick out of seeing who can copy CW
and who can't. I only wish I could enter the tests under both WB5B
and W6HB. And to comment on a recent thread, the Europeans almost never
call me W6HB.
