Hi we enjoy a relatively high level of propagated QRN here right up through 30
mHz. We have some good transmitting antennas that certainly help but even using
stacks we get some very deep mid-angle nulls with our flat Fresnel zone. The
phased vertical rx arrays look very attractive with a beam width comparable to
our yagis but a much nicer elevation profile and F/B. Plus the ability to
switch directions very rapidly. The downside might be their low sensitivity
below 6-7 degrees elevation compared to the high horizontal antennas.
Does anyone have experience using rx arrays on the high bands in contests?
