Hi Nick, The conclusions were inconclusive, LOL!
The bulk of the so-called experiments involved observing phasing results with close spacing (approx. 70 feet between antennas). Andrew Ikin of Wellbrook has said repeatedly to me and Dave that his phaser design requires a minimum of 40 meters spacing to work effectively. However, Dave had the Quantum Phaser along, and he knew we could get *some* results at closer spacing but with a limited bandwidth. We did not have a Wellbrook phasing unit with us this trip. Dave found that he could indeed get decent nulls (loop vs loop, or loop vs vertical) at 70 feet, but unfortunately the desired DX signal strength dropped along with the nulled station! That's the main takeaway that I remember from our work, which granted wasn't very scientific. Too bad you weren't along, Nick, as I know you'd keep us in line and help us reduce variables and banish wishful thinking :^) 73, Guy ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Nicholas Hall-Patch <[email protected]> > To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America < > [email protected]> > Cc: > Date: Wed, 9 Nov 2016 12:44:49 +0000 > Subject: Re: [IRCA] Cape Lookout Oregon non-DX Overview - Oct. 31-Nov. 2 > And what did you conclude from the experiments, Guy?
