In a rural area with no significant man made noise, if you redesign a beverage
for better RDF when do you start to notice a difference?
I’m considering upgrading my single EU beverage at 625’ (190m) to a pair in
echelon where will each be 550’ (168m) with 20’ (6m) spacing . The increase in
RDF is 0.8 dB - will it be noticeable?
I realize if there’s noise in a direction where you reduce the energy you will
better hear the difference , but my EU beverage is quiet. Though the F/B
change will help with thunder storms off the back.
Overall I tend to receive better than I transmit to EU.
