With my new K3, I'm faced with a rig that will run 6 meters but no antenna. I'm waffling between a couple of choices, either of which would go on my roof, at a height of about 20 feet:
* Cushcraft AR6 - 1/2 wave vertical * Diamond 2 ele yagi My K3 is a 10 watt version so I think I need forward gain more than F/B ratio. Also, I'll not be using a rotor of any kind so I don't want a multi-element yagi since beamwidth is too narrow to just point it & forget it. I'm in VT and I believe ground conductivity to be average to poor. While the 1/2 wave vert does not use the ground around the antenna, it still depends on the fresnel zone to develop its full pattern, right? What do you suggest? - Keith N1AS - - K3 711 - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
