Re: [IRCA] Super KAZ question

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

[IRCA] Super KAZ question

2016-03-21 Thread Patrick Martin
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 get close. So 
it looks like I am still in the ballpark, that is if I do not lose anymore 
trees. Does the KAZ have to be centered perfectly? The apex will not be exactly 
centered. The K9AY and EWE's I have built have always been forgiving. The old 
coax is still out there. I may have to connect an extension, but that is easy. 
So I may get something up sooner than I thought. I just need some good weather.
