No, I had expressed two different opinions. First, I was responding to the
question of whether a 3 ele beam was better for QRP than a vertical. And in
an aside, I had remembered that mc was looking for a SMALL antenna for use
at sea. Obviously, a yagi isn't a small antenna at HF. I was remarking th
Well said Eric. Lots to think about for everyone.

That goes for ANY power level, not just milliwatting. The gain of a beam can
often (not always) squirt more power where you need it to go than a
vertical. Sometimes the low take-off angle of a GOOD vertical can trump a
beam, though.
I have only one problem using a beam...one I can live with. Hi. M

For QRP, you want to use the best antenna possible, to make the
maximum use of every watt. A beam certainly has a lot mor
Yes I have found that my three element 80 meter beam at 190 feet seems to
slightly outperform my 30 foot vertical run with a four foot ground stake as
a radial. I can easily hear signals that have a signal strength of one
milliwatt.
However I am experimenting with a full wavelength 80 meter vertic
