I'll believe your test, but a better test is a simple dipole against a simple vertical. That way, implementation problems of the 4-square and Yagi don't confuse the results. This must vary with locat
I found that a four element vertical array had essentially identical performance to my 560 ft beverage on 80 and 160. I have two of the DX Engineering ARAH-1 active receive antennas for sale. They ca

I am planning to release a new version of the Super Check Partial database files in early August 2014 . I am requesting your logs for input to the database files. This effort might be more successful
Should really just be called the Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter Stew Perry. None of them a "test" version. All of them one gets in there and Remember the seasons are reversed in the Southern Hemisp
Maybe a plastic switchbox of some kind that shorts the 2 leads of the 80m vee together (to give you a radiator-The center) and another switch to short the 40m vee together for one raised radial-The
My Alpha 9500 is out being repaired, so I will be operating low power in the SP this weekend. Which of course means additional points for both ends of the QSO. Might be worth trying to pull my signal
