Bill, Yes, I would agree with you. My transmitting doublet runs N and S while my unterminated wire runs E and W with a height difference of almost 30'. So I'm sure it meets the criteria you laid out.
For my more permanent installation I plan to use one of the ICE RF limiters on the Beverage input. Thanks again for your comments. I'm starting to get a better picture of what I'm going to do. 73, Dave W8FGU ------Original Message------ From: Bill W4ZV Sender: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Diversity Receiving Antennas Sent: Jul 27, 2009 7:21 AM Dave et al, A diversity RX antenna doesn't need to be complicated. All you need is something that is somewhat different than your TX antenna. By "different" I mean: 1. different polarization (e.g. a vertical if you're using a Yagi). 2. different takeoff angle (e.g. a low tribander you're using a high one) 3. different azimuth angle (e.g. a tribander pointed in a different direction) Your "Beverage" was probably acting like a low horizontally polarized antenna with a high takeoff angle, so it filled several of the above criteria. If you do use another Yagi, take precautions to limit the RX ANT input when transmitting. 73, Bill -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Diversity-Receiving-Antennas-tp3331122p3333262.html Sent from the [OT] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
