The single loops are rather forgiving. But please give me the best estimate
of the dimensions so I can model it in EZNEC to make sure. I have modeled a
couple of offset KAZ's for DXers previously and they seemed OK.
Or if you want it symmetric, just go 54 x 2=108 ft. 73 KAZ

I went out and measured the distance across the yard and I have over 112 feet
and the tree in the middle is about 54 feet, so the Super KAZ should work, but
may be a bit lopsided. But at 112 feet if I used 1:4 I would have to go up
25-30 feet. I think the tree branched behind the house, I should
The D-KAZ has a considerably wider back null than the basic single loop KAZ
antenna. For example, with your null at 330 with the D-KAZ you probably
also have good nulls at 300 and 360. These nulls will be better at off
angles than what you'd get using a KAZ as the single loop has a more narrow
null
Hi folks. Due to work schedule I didn't get a chance to change the D-KAZ
beam. Hopefully this evening...
I did spend another hour with the Wellbrook D-KAZ/Vactrol (330 null) vs the
SAL-30 last night. Nulling stations to the NW with them was a toss-up, on
some nulls the D-KAZ won, on others the SAL

I am planning on rotating the D-KAZ tomorrow to 45/225 and doing more A/B
tests vs the SAL-30. More details soon.

Hi Brandon,
I hope you can give us the good news about how well the D-KAZ works.
I now have a Vactrol setup here from a DX friend that I will try tomorrow
when I get home from work. Hopefully I can learn a lot when compared to my

with the null at 330 degrees to compare how well the null for Memphis stations
compare to the SAL-30, at least for groundwave, but swapping be

Hi Patrick,
Could you use tall fiberglass poles / fishing rods for the center point? I
recall seeing photos with the late John Bryant hoisting some delta antenna
with one or two. Maybe I'm dreaming but I think that might be cool and you
can take it down.

I can probably forget about building a Super KAZ in the backyard now, unless I
can figure something else out. Tonight we had the 6th strongest Pacific Storm
ever. Hurricane winds.Not quite the monster we had in 2007 for 3 days, but it
was nasty. Gusts out here over 90 MPH. The center tree was t

Patrick, how high can you make that apex in the tree?
However, with that Vactrol, if you can get a good null with the bottom wire
on the ground, it may be worth a try that way, but I fear your commonly

backyard. It is about 110 feet or so and the row of trees, there is one nearly
in the middle, give or take a few feet, so the plans for the Western Super KAZ
looks good. Instead of running the line on the ground, I think
