Lets start here and see how it goes. If someone complains well take it off line. Nothing like a public discussion to bring out the best ideas. I changed the subject line so the discussion will make s
No it does not and thats a good point. Im pretty sure the vertical 800 feet away is not much of an issue, but the tower within 150 could be a problem. The model is going to be difficult because there
Ken: No directivity and noisier than the TX vertical. Perhaps you should look at these as two separate observations. Try disconnecting the feedline at the antenna. What is the noise level with the an
Good idea Gregg. I suspect there may be some common mode problems. I did discover one problem thanks to questions from K6UJ: the resistors on the loops need to be non-inductive and the ones I install
Ken, did you remember the 180 degree phase inversion needed on the Waller flag. It will act like a very large signal level single loop if not. Lee K7TJR _________________ Topband Reflector Archives -
Yes I did put that in. I think. I modeled the whole thing and duplicated the phasing line lengths and crossover at the feedpoint. Although once I get it down Im going to recheck that again. After my
Ken, I am thinking along the lines as Gregg. Try disconnecting the feedline at the antenna and compare noise levels. Do you have a choke on both ends of the feedline ? Bob K6UJ I did discover one pro
Don't bash yourself too hard Ken. I have had my share of oops, what did I do ? :-) It will be interesting to see what happens when you disconnect the feedline. Bob K6Uj Thanks, Ken K6MR Ken, did you
No, only at the feedpoint. Once I get the resistors changed Ill try some tests with the feedline. Thanks for all the ideas. This thing may work yet! Ken K6MR Ken, I am thinking along the lines as Gre
