Thanks for the flowers Ron. The one compromise I ended up making was not getting the aluminum up a full half wave in the air. Fully half the directionality is down a steep hill, so electrically it meets that criteria. However the other half is back into the hillside so in that direction not so much. It has still been a very worthwhile pursuit. This antenna beats my 80m @ .5 wave doublet multiband antenna.
I hope this has been helpful. 73 de Eric, KG6MZS > On Oct 14, 2016, at 7:43 PM, Ron D'Eau Claire <r...@cobi.biz> wrote: > > A rotatable dipoles offer an advantage when > they are up high enough (>1/2 wavelength) to provide significant > directivity. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
