Hi Guys,
HNY!
I'm not impressed with the performance of a 2-el. Forty-Shorty at 90' on DX
qso's. While it's great for 1,000 mi. or less... my single 1/4 wave vertical
is just as good on the average DX contact. (since the Shorty-Forty at 90'
doesn't have any gain at low radiation angles... I guessed I should have
expected
as much)
Question: Considering flat terrain, average ground conductivity, and a
reasonable radial system: do you predict that a 40-m. 4-Square would outperform
the
90' Shorty-Forty by 3-5dB on the average DX qso?
73.
