As we all know it's good to have antenna choices. There haven't been too many audible TA days to test it but the DKaz will sometimes produce better results when the regular beverage antennas don't so its arrival angle must be the one that is favoured on those days. I don't have a good handle on what is happening but it certainly is a useful choice to have. It also gets used on much higher mid HF frequencies and can sometimes produce significantly better signals than any of my other choices for these frequencies , mainly the Wellbrook ALA100 and some large HF log periodics. The pattern seems to be reversed up that high in frequency, which seems reasonable that it would be. It is not a good performer on longwave. Altho I did get the posts in and the trenching etc all done last fall, I did not complete the project which consists of 4 separate DKAZ antennas pointed essentially NE SE SW and NW. That should be done this summer. This area used to have a HiZ 8 vertical array which proved to be less useful than I had hoped.
