Hi Guys,

For 160-meter DX'ing here I use a three element phased array---each inverted "L" in the array is extended (approximately 170' long) and arranged in a triangle, 1/4-wave apart. I use RG-6 TV cable for both feedlines & phasing lines, and use 135-degree phasing for maximum (theoretical) gain...

It seems to work well enough: in the 5, or so, complete seasons that I've been using it I've gone from some 80 DXCC countries worked on the band, to 148...

So yes, there is a a wide variety of antennas in use out there, not all of them featured in THE ARRL ANTENNA HANDBOOK, either...!
