It's been done... I would forget the phasing stuff... Too many headaches... Make the two other (upper) guys parasitic reflectors... Use relays to walk the driven element around the circle for electri
Let me play the party pooper here and discourage driving the tower and using the guys as ref/dir... The spacings are wrong for a 3 element, parasitic array and the reactances are very, very touchy, a
George, The 100' spacing of the base of the antennas is from the central tower to each base, so any two opposed bases will be 200' apart... I use a treated 4X4 X10' wood pole to mount relays, etc., i
It is no different than the spacing on capacitor plates... A quarter inch gap between the base and the radials plate, will handle the voltages present at the base of a series fed, 1/4 wave vertical,
Frank, For any hope at all of working DX you need a vertical transmit.... A top loaded <whatever you can stand up> will work better than any dipole, by magnitudes... I predict that if you try to do t
I suspect that you should assume, "what goes around, comes around." If the there is mutual coupling one way, there is coupling the other way... Denny...
