Ing. Pavel, There are a whole series of QFH antennas. 1/4,turn, 1/4 wavelength through 1 turn 1 Wavelength. Gain at the horizon is determined by the ratio of the axial length in fractions of a wave length. The best performance I have obtained is a 1 wavelength per side, 1 turn, for good gain at

Hi Pavel, The issue may not be the antenna - but SO-50. The antennas are linear - but the received signal strength can vary a lot if you have just RHCP or LHCP. During passes here in Copenhagen, Denmark I experience large differences in signal strength which can be counteracted by changing

Thanks to all for the reply to this thread... Conclusion is that I need RHCP LHCP switchable antennas... And my antenna is working good... but I'm reading an article Art send me to improve my knowledge about QFHA... 73 and Thanks to all. El 16/02/13 23:21, Ing. Pavel Milanes Costa
