Here is a spot from last weekend. Using a 19 year-old Mosley PRO-57A antenna, I copied a European running 50 milli-Watts under world wide DX contest conditions. F5MUX 14035.9 K4RO gd ears 50 mW here
That's a very flawed comment. Reception is a function of signal-to-noise ratio, not absolute gain. People can hear great with all sorts of receiving antennas (small loops, beverages, etc) that make h
I strongly agree, Dave. Steve and Ward did very careful measurements of these antennas in a well controlled test setup. My Beverages hear very well too, but they'd make lousy transmit antennas. 73, J
I'll stick my neck out and play devils advocate here. Kirk does very well in contests and always seems to have a good signal on the bands. AC1O/4 used one of those big Moseley beams when he was activ
As I recall, Steve and Ward considered that possibility when the result was so poor and measured a second sample! I'm going from memory. Steve can fill us in. 73, Jim K9YC ___________________________
was so poor and measured a second sample! I'm going from memory. Steve can fill us in. The antenna inconsistency that we encountered had to do with the Monroe, WA, built KT34XA's (just before they we
So does that mean you and Ward only tested 1 of the Mosley antennas, Steve? (I don't recall offhand). Mike W4EF........... _______________________________________________ ____________________________
The test reports I have seen show data on three Mosley models: the TA-33, Pro-77 and Pro-57B. Similarly, there are two Hy-Gain models, two Force-12 models and one each from CushCraft, Bencher, and K
Steve? (I don't recall offhand). No, we tested 2 or 3 of them. I think the old traditional TA-33 did the best or at least as well as the rest of them (going by memory here). Cheers, Steve K7LXC **Sho
When these yagi comparison test results were first announced ( I think I remember the talk at Dayton several years ago) it really got me thinking - IS IT POSSIBLE that there could be an antenna model
Yes, people can and do work DX for years not knowing how bad their antenna is. Can you say "Gotham"? Maybe hardly anyone has a comparison dipole, but I do. I religiously A/B with it whenever trying a
As I recall the discussion at Dayton the year the tests were done, the "knock" on the methodology was that the measurements were necessarily made at an elevation angle of zero (no helicopter availabl
