Has anyone built the DX Engineering version of the YCCC 9 circle array ?I am
considering one and would like anyone's feedback. I have read the NCJ article
and was on the list for the original kit version until it got squashed. Also is
anyone using the W7IUV preamp with an array of verticals? If
I am in the process of clearing land for full size 80m 4SQ. I have two
questions for the group:
1) How much and what kind of degradation should I see if I place the 4SQ
elements around my tower. The tower is 90' and has a 4 el 40 m yagi at 90'
and 6 el tribander at 105'. Currently I have no
Hi All-
I have recently moved to a new QTH - at a rental house in the country - and
have totally rebuilt my 160 meter antenna system from the ground up.
Luckily - the landlord was okay with me putting up a tower - and I have 77
feet of tower with a MonsterIR on top of it. I connected the two
The 9 el is just an extension of the basic 3 elements in line building block of
the W1FV design. I think that it is great that DXCC is selling the kits to
build these arrays. Personally I think the 9 element is overkill. Only three
elements are active at any time. There is also a 5 element
Hi,
I am connected to the chat almost all day.
I see most messages related to 160m. Did even not know it was also 40m.
Did that recently change?
Think 60% is 160m, 30% 80m, 9% general messages and 1% 40m.

Take a look at section 6 of chapter 11 of ON4UNs book.
There is a whole discussion on a configuration very similar to what you
propose.

Greg,
Thanks for the great reminder! The chapter does in fact describe exactly what I
have been planning. It also gave me the most important piece of information- as
long as the tower is grounded, which is the case, it has no impact on the 80m
4SQ. The trees will be happy as I don't have to
Once again, I will be doing the QST & ARRL Web writeup for the just-finished
ARRL 160M Contest. If any of you Top Band denizens have a story to tell about
the 'test, please send them to me (k...@k9ay.com) -- No need to repeat your
3830 posts, since I'll already have them.

It sounds like you have a problem with either the terminating resistor
or the matching transformer. Or, there could be a problem with your
switching if you have more than one EWE. There is no reason why a EWE
would behave the way you describe unless it is simply acting as a

I am somewhat new to 160 meters. I converted an old VHF tower at my house to
a 160 M 1/4 wave radiator in late 2013 and have been active since then on a
casual basis. Recently I started showing symptoms of the 160 Disease, and
have been looking for ways to improve things. The XYL has nixed

Greetings fellow Top Band enthusiasts!
I'm Mark K3MSB, and I live south of York PA. This is my first time posting
to this list.
I’ve been licensed for 43 years and got on 160M in November 2014, so this
is the start of my second year. Why I didn’t get on TB sooner is a
question I keep asking
Hi Rudy,
Maybe i am wrong but i think Jorge, CX6VM/CW5W has something similar for
160m.
Try contact him and ask about his experience.
I think he is member of this list.
GL with the project.

The site I have available for one of these systems is part of the former
radial field for my now-defunct 160M 4-square. The RX array would go where
the ground has radials from the former elements. These radial wires are
buried under years of accumulated tree stuff and it would not be
Hello TopBanders,
I am the author of the original NCJ article, published in September/October
and November/December issues, which is the basis for the YCCC/DX Engineering
RX array. I also collaborated extensively with DXE to develop the kits that
are now available exclusively through DXE. I
