I have two and a splitter and phasing harness, 22 element beams, but how far apart? Looking for recommendations. I want to increase gain but not reduce beam width. Thanks Joe Serocki, N9IFG Prez, WeL
Joe the increase in gain comes from narrowing the beam width. If you stack them vertically the vertical beam width is narrowed. Stack them side by side to narrow the horizontal beam width. Vertical s
I never thought of stacking side by side, I think that would accomplish more on the horizontal plane. Since you are already pointed pretty flat, you really want to add beam width and gain at the same
Jim, W0EEA first email was correct. You can't increase gain and not decrease beamwidth somehow. Stacking the antennas vertically reduces the vertical beamwidth. The horizontal is mostly unaffected. S
Hi Joe, I can see how this can be confusing. I'm going to take a non-technical whack at it for you. Let's assume that your antennas use flat elements (planar). When looking at the end (down the boom)
