Hi Andy,
Your new end-fire array sounds excellent! How are your two elements constructed? What is the end-fire phase delay between your two elements? Are the end fire elements actually 125 meters apart? 1/4 wavelength end-fire spacing would be 41 meters. Spacings as small as 20 meters work well in an end-fire array (the RDF is slightly better) but signal level is somewhat lower but much better than a BOG. Good luck with your new antenna! 73 Frank W3LPL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andree DL8LAS via Topband" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2020 6:45:28 AM Subject: Topband: end-fire array Saturday I built my new end-fire array to NA.Today I compared my 68m long BOG, the 353m beverageand the 2x125m end-fire array , all antennas beaming 300° NA.I am listening to W1AW beacon for this comparison. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3jGPzy63Ls 73 Andy DL8LAS www.dl8las.com www.swing-company-bigband.de/ www.uni-big-band-kiel.de/ _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
