[TowerTalk] 4 Sq array Dx or Hi Z

[Dan Schaaf]

I stand corrected, Joe.

I just went through my emails with HiZ and my comment to this group was off 
the mark. I should have referred specifically to the HiZ 8 circl array 200 
ft diameter.
Here is the quote from his email:
"Hi Dan, there is no point in you having the 8 circle model. This antenna is 
a single band antenna that for 160 meters will ONLY work on a 200 foot 
diameter circle."

That from the owner of HiZ.

Absolutely not ... study "crossfire phasing" (W8JI term) or look for
information on frequency independent phasing.  For receive operation
flipping phase of alternate elements allows phasing to work across
a couple of octaves or more as long as the element spacing does not
become significantly greater than 1/4 wave at the highest frequency.
