Topband: 160m 4-Square

[William Hein, AA6TT]

Matt KC1XX and his crew were at my Vermont farm last week and we got the 160m 4-Square Array tower bases in the ground.  Hope to have the whole array on the air by the end of September.

After reviewing all the phased vertical array info I could get my hands on and also after soliciting comments from the TopBand reflector, I decided on an elevated radial system sloping down from an elevated 1/4-wave vertical (ranging from 25' to 44' above sloping ground).

Wonder how my array will compare on the air to the 4-Square Array that a well-known Top Band DXer is building on Prince Edward Island?

C U on the band.
