[TowerTalk] Enhanced OWA

[Bob Shohet, KQ2M]

Hi Brian,

Thank you for the great charts and detailed explanation!  It’s great to be able to see the tradeoffs so clearly and by freq. as well.

I still have a DOS computer that can run your original suite of programs – YO, AO, TA, etc. – but I am not sure
how I would code your design in a DOS file to work with YO and TA.

Would you be willing to provide the coding for a file that will work with YO?

Tnx & 73


Bob, KQ2M

I thought anyone interested in constructing an OWA might find this 
approach interesting. It describes how to reclaim the forward gain an 
OWA normally trades away for wide SWR bandwidth. I assume the builder 
constructs a custom element mount to angle the driven element halves.
