[TowerTalk] Stacked 4 squares

[Mike Smith VE9AA]

I guess if the reasons for me asking must be known.I'll tell you all....yes,
towers with 1 or 2 nice tribanders would no doubt be much better than a high
band 4-square.

 

I want to see what I can do with ONLY wires-in-the-woods.  Call it a
personal challenge.

 

Recently, I installed 4 squares for 20-40-80 (and 2el on 160m). (mostly all
wires-in-the-woods)  They work well.  Maybe even very well.

Not super station well (hi hi) but I am impressed what a bunch of wires and
Comtek controllers from Dx Engineering, can do.

 

So, I was wanting to replace my very low tribander (on a short mast) and
also my HF9V, with something else.unconventional.I still have a little room
left in my small strip of woods, but judging from my results on 20m, I think
I need to go with more than a single 4-Sq, hence my question.  I don't live
on a beach, but a pretty good ridge in NB.

 

I also really like the instant direction switch.  No rotors, no towers. Very
quiet.  It's a pleasure to use.  I don't know why I waited 38 yrs to try one
!

 

Thanks all so far for your input.  Appreciate it.
