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 On Mon, Mar 21, 2016

[IRCA] Super KAZ question

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

Re: [IRCA] Super KAZ update

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

Re: [IRCA] Super KAZ update

Initial results are outstanding! Excellent nulls and more sensitive than the SAL-30. 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. On Mon, Mar 14, 2016 at 8:21 PM, Neil Kazaross wrote: > Hi Brandon, > > I

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 fixed Rt method. 73 KAZ On Mon, Mar 14, 2016 at 12:33 PM,

Colin's Vactrol arrived today. I have a 140' D-KAZ erected point 150/330 and should have everything connected in the next few hours. I am initially going 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

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 soggy ground. I'd feel better about it 7 ft up. But try it on the ground first prior to

I went out when I got home this evening to look and measure the room in the 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
