INTERESTING .... I could not remember the name it's
been too long but the antenna worked as good as
stacked 7 elm cushcrafts back in the DAYS OF 2 METER
AM. MY use of them and the one station here in
tampabat shows this array is very good as you describe
in a semi directinal net antenna use with a wide lobe
which requires less turning.

NOW thoes who are pushing digital need to remember
many of us USE digital where we find it is a good
choice. THE BIG PROBLEM WAS THE 100KHZ wide stuff.
It dosn't take a moon rocket designer to know what
would have happened when 6 and 2 are open and if we
are talking NARROW band digital and the ARRL keeps its
meeting open it will go much better the next time.
