- Hi All, How far should a K9AY be spaced from resonant antenna? I presume there is no impact from nearby trees. Please advise. -- Ash ~ 3V8SS/KF5EYY http://www.kf5eyy.info/ _________________ Searchabl

- Well, on a small suburban lot with TALL pine trees (four and a large sweet gum tree in a square of 50 x60 feet), I had an inverted L with one L shaped elevated radial on the perimeter of the lot. One

- I don't want to say "No Impact" but my K9AY is in a line of trees and has very strong directivity with deep null. It is about 50 feet from the vertical element of my transmit T, and definitely in the

- Ash, The answer is "as far as necessary"! There seems to be a lot of variation in the degree of interaction with towers and other antennas. Every QTH is different. I suppose 100 feet is a good starti

- I believe that it greatly depends on if the tower is closely resonant to 160 meters. In my case, the K9AY array is about 150 ft. from the tower. I tried detuning my tower and even though the tower is

- This is an important factor that we don't often think about. I've used this to create 2-el arrays from multiple 160M verticals, changing termination of the one I'm not feeding in the shack. Spent a L
