[TowerTalk] Comparing K9AY Loop and KB7GF Shared Apex LoopArray?

[Dan Schaaf]

N4IS in Miami uses a Waller Flag. It has -50 db gain or approximately. 
Therefore it needs lots of amplification. However, he DOES hear the DX on 
160. Hears very well. Check his website http://qrz.com/db/N4IS   and 
http://www.n4is.com/

He is on a city lot or maybe slightly larger. It seems that the concept of 
the waller flag is about the same as the SAL concept, just different shape.

>From the data I see, it looks like you need a lot of gain if
you want to use it on 160.

I have a Waller Flag in the works, looking forward to
seeing how it plays versus the Pennant I have up.
