[VHFcontesting] Antenna space

[Radiosporting Fan]

Bob,
To get a 1/2 S-unit (3-dB) advantage, you will need to
double the size of your antenna (to 8-elements).  Is
that worth it or even possible for you?

On the other hand, you can get greater DX by raising
your present antenna -- which lowers your vertical
angle of radiation.  The trade-off is that you won't
perform as well on high-angle Es.

The most competitive stations would stack 4/4 and have
the ability to operate with either independently or
both combined to allow for maximum flexibility.

Crackers for the cranium,
