<DIV>I wonder if anyone would have time to model the K3LR Sloper Array for me? I don't have an antenna modelling program. I mentioned to K2NG that we were thinking of putting up an 80 </DIV>
<DIV>meter version of this antenna down on Bonaire for the CQWW contest. He warned me that this</DIV>
<DIV>array could effect the performance of the 40 meter beam on the tower. I emailed K3LR about this</DIV>
<DIV>and he said he didn't see any performance issues with the yagis on the tower he has the 160 meter</DIV>
<DIV>version of this antenna on. He suggested I model it for 80 meters to see the effects.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here is a link to the orginal article - <A href="http://www.arrl.org/members-only/tis/info/pdf/9408036.pdf">http://www.arrl.org/members-only/tis/info/pdf/9408036.pdf</A></DIV>

<DIV>The tower on Bonaire is 90 feet high with a 2 el F12 40 meter yagi on it and a C3 about 10 feet above </DIV>
<DIV>it. The guy wires are phillystran. The plan is to make a 2 el version of the antenna. One leg would point to EU and the other VK/ZL.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> If it looks like there would be an effect on the 40 meter beam I was thinking of building a 2 el phased vertical system with 1/4 wl spacing using wire hanging down from ropes sloping down from the top of the tower. We would use 4 elevated radials. It would be fed 90 out of phase to give a endfire cardiod pattern towards EU. Thanks.</DIV>
