Patrick, I'm interested in the ALA 100 also, especially if the figure 8 pattern is narrow. It uses +12VDC. So there's some sort of active circuit inside the little blackbox. Do you (or anyone else) know what the circuit does for the antenna?

No wonder the Beverage doesn't do well on TA MW DX. The EWE's are forgiving enough with a fatter lobe that the 15 degrees doesn't really matter. I guess I am stuck with the 80 degrees the Beverage run. Oh well..... I may try a shorter wire // to the beverage for another fat lobe. I will see how the ALA 100 goes too. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
