I've been told that there has been some talk about conductive (metal) center supports for receiving antennas like the K9AY Directional loop antenna on this reflector. I have browsed the archives unsu

Yes it will degrade it. Period. Ask Earl Cunningham about it at k6se@arrl.net Earl, with others, helped introduce us all to pennants, loops, and flags.

Hi Tom, It makes absolutely no difference at all if you use a metal pole or non-metallic pole as long as you insulate the pole from the wire. The antenna is a fairly low impedance antenna, and any e

Tom and Tom: FWIW, I have been modeling a set of K9AY loops with EZNEC. My modeling results (real high-accuracy ground - average conductivity) indicate that their is only a slight difference (about 2

2dB null depth variation is the extreme with the mast near the wire. It would be even less if the mast were insulated at the antenna by a few feet of PVC, and less still if the mast were floated at

Any suggestions for how to go about decoupling a nearby tower from a K9AY loop array, Tom? My modeling suggests that this may be a problem, but I am not sure if I trust my results. The amount of patt

Mike, I'm a little skeptical about this technique. Have you tried allowing the direct connection, but interposing a few-ohm load in the bottom most segment of the tower (and make that segment very sh

Sounds reasonable. You probably have severe pattern distortion and you can probably detune the tower and reduce it. You simply must add out-of-phase currents in the shunt that are exactly equal and

According to the EZNEC manual, whenever you insert the direct connection with the Sommerfield ground, NEC inserts an unknown series resistance. If I switch to real mininec ground, I don't get any war

Tom, Actually there is no gamma arm currently. We are not shunt feeding the 45G tower (yet). The TX antenna is a low 160 meter dipole that is sitting at the edge of the cliff another 100' or so in t

Looking over both QST articles, it seems to me that the K9AY loop is nearly identical to the diamond or delta version of the flag/pennant. The main difference is the location of the feed point and te
