Contesters,
I have everything I need for a parasitic 40 meter 4-square but can't find
design info.
I want to try this antenna as my marginal cost will be zero. I have 4 33'
verticals, an Ameritron RSC 8-V switch and plenty of radial wire and coax
on hand.
Any info on design and tuning will be appreciated. I believe the design
has 3 "reflectors" that use the inductive reactance of the open feedline to
make them "reflectors," right. How long should the feedlines be? I can
tune with the MFJ 259B.
Any models out there to tell me what to expect?
Archive and google search turned up nothing.
73,
Ron KK9K
