Hi, I have been using a single (steel) upper guy (48 m long, 45 degree angle) against a modest ground system on 160 for now and have simulated an approach where all three would be used phased. Does a
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
guy wire a driven element against ground radials, and inductively loading the other two as reflectors. One would need an insulator about 39 - 40 meters above the feed point to get resonance on the d
For an effective parasitic array, the unused elements need to appear electrically longer than the driven element, thereby creating reflectors. This is true for a parasitic array of vertical dipoles,
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
