Hello collective Knowledge! Next weekend is of course the CQ 160m Contest; we are planning a trip to our site at MD4K.
We have an unfinished project; a pair of phased verticals using 26m Spiderpoles. John , G3PQA kindly gave us some dimensions for a T antenna, and an L antenna. (We also had more info for a 4 wire top too, which we lost due to a PC crash!) We will need to set this up FD style, so I am sure that we will end up with a T configuration, for the simplest configuration, with least complexity Big question - is there a preferred orientation of the top wires - parallel to each other on each vert, or in line? I know you don't really radiate off the top wires, since they are only supposed to cancel each other out. I am thinking in terms of minimum interactions // Coupling. 73 Dave G3NKC _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
