[TowerTalk] Field Strength comparison

[Mike Smith VE9AA]

GE Stan, 

I have absolutely no hard engineering facts for you, other than to say that
when I installed my 4-squares a few years ago, I located a small signal
source about 200' away from all the arrays and made RX measurements with the
arrays and my IC-7410.  I seemed to have very good results at this 200'
distance from a vertical and a bunch of my 4-squares.

I would've rather had 300' or 400', or even 700' but that would've meant
locating my signal source on someone else's land and I didn't want to do
that, for various reasons. (bringing attention to my hobby as one reason)

I posted results here, if it's worth anything to you.

GL and thanks for all the contest Q's !

How far away (minimum) should a receive antenna be located if you wanted to 

accurately measure the difference between a couple of vertical arrays -
let's 

say, for example a 4 Square and a single vertical.

 

Thanks. Stan, K5GO
