[TowerTalk] 160 RECEIVE ANTENNAS

[turnbull]

Dale,Just read the instructions and recommendations for each RX antenna type!    I have two different Hi-Z circles they each want to be separated about 175 ft from other antennas or performance reduces.    I doubt mounting in a wood is ideal though, I think Frank Donovan W3LPL who knows more than I has done so.   The ground should be fairly level.   Mine are in a field well separated from each other, all metal including fences and utility lines.    For me they are great.A former K9AY mounted in my wood performed reasonably well.   It was again well sepaated from all metal and other antennas.Beverages seem to me pretty tolerant from my own experience but require realestate.Engineering is full of compromises.   I have seen a photo of a 3el HiZ RX ant near a house and chainlink fence which the owner found most useful.Read everything you can and discuss your project with friends.  73 Doug EI2CNSent from my Galaxy
