A yagi can have on the order of 10dB more gain than a dipole at the same height. When stacks are involved, one now has the abi; /archives//html/CQ-Contest/2004-03/msg00502.html (11,173 bytes)

Assuming a single beam did have 10 db, doubling that with 2 would give 13 db and adding another 2 would bring it up to 16 db.

I wasn't including the gain from the presence of the additional antennas. If I had, my figure would have been closer to 55 dB.

Most DX contests require a lot of contacts with Europe - for two reasons: - There are a lot of countries in Europe. - There are a lot of radio ops i; /archives//html/CQ-Contest/2004-03/msg00514.html (10,577 bytes)
