I lived in Africa a long time ago in a game park so I had the opportunity to run a 700 foot long wire and later two long wires in a V beam.
The gain was better than a yagi, the wires had lobes off them. I noticed that I didn't suffer from much fading. If you have space for a long wire or a v beam or a rhomic put it up. You can't rotate it but you will be heard very well in the direction of the wires. Theoretical doesn't come close to actual. There is no such thing as free space for us mortals. Our wires are all that we can know and I would do it all again if I was young and had the space. 73, Bill N2WL ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
