I'd have to say "It Depends". A 'regular' QHA has about zip for gain on the horizon where you really need the it, although I've read where the "extended" QHA's have a 'flatter' pattern, with the gain squeezed down towards the horizon. Same with eggbeaters. I have a pair of the M2 units, and even

Sounds like the "QHTennas", made by N4QH. Reviewed in QST in 2005, then he stopped producing them just a few months later. Near as I could figure out, they are a conventional turnstile design, but with the 2 dipoles separated by the length of the phasing line, and no reflector. George, KA3HSW

I would suggest that you don't need a phasing line if the dipoles are spaces a quarter wave and that both are fed by equal length cables. George Henry wrote: > Looking at the pictures, it appears that the dipoles are separated by about > 1/4 wave in free space, which is physically longer than

Some maritime TVRO antennas used a mechanical scan at the feed point. A motor would either rotate an attenuator disk or offset the feed in a circular motion. A resolver kept track of the feed location in relation to received signal strength. The antenna was then slewed in the direction of best
