Thanks, Jim. One thing seems certain, and that's that K2AV's FCP is plenty efficient enough to allow hams with HOAs or limited space to get on 160 with a really good signal.
The FCP is on my long list of things I'd like to experiment with someday, if only for the fun of it. It would not be difficult to remote-switch between two elevated radials (or whatever) and a 160m FCP, and do many A/B tests between them. 73, Mike www.w0btu.com On Mon, Oct 28, 2013 at 12:20 PM, Jim Bennett <[email protected]> wrote: > Mike - FWIW - I had a two tuned-radial 80 meter Inverted L hung in one of > our redwood trees.
