Id like to point out that it is quite feasible to phase a vertical;against a loop. It has been done for over 40 years. One variant of the idea was the LSCA, and reporints are / were available from the clubs about it.
But I didn't understand what is meant by the "hot end". Nor why phasing would affect what a DKAZ delivers.

Mark, if you use an omni antenna to phase the D-Kaz you'll also be pulling down signals from the "hot" end of the D-Kaz. You might do better by phasing with a loop orthogonal to the D-Kaz; this would help you wipe out stuff from the sides. Cheers!

I'm open to suggestions on that. Currently I have a DKaz pointed south, and a small vertical wire going from ground level up to about 30 feet high in a tree. That is my "check" antenna because it's omni-directional. (It also is closer to the house and any noise sources within....) On 2018-06-25 6:09 pm, Brandon Jordan wrote: > Hi Mark.
