Just placed some notes on the above title at the site. Simple 3-way
triangular array for 40 with a top height of 22', no ground plane,
switchable directions, 10-12 dB F-B, no phase-lines, low gain but low
elevation angle, off-center feed/loading, and hats. An alternative to
SCVs, but not to 2/3 element Yagis up 140' or so. See the Practical
Antennas category in the index. Does it "really" work? I'll add
performance notes when I build one this Fall/Winter/Spring (depending on
time and wx).
