[SCCC] 4 elm SteppIR vs real 6 meter beam

[Dennis Younker NE6I]

John,

Try reaching out to NC6K. He has a DB36 as well as a 7 ele yagi for six.
They are at similar but not exactly the same heights. I don't think he has
the optional 6 meter passive reflector though, and apparently that makes a
huge difference in the gain figures, at least according to the web site. I'm
judging the lack of passive reflector based on his QRZ web site. He may have
added it since those pictures though.

Has anyone seen a study of a 4 ele SteppIR vs a 6-7 elm 6 meter beam ??


SteppIR claims 12.5 dbi on 6 --


I am wondering if worth going to real 6 meter beam.
