Yes loobs are broad but even so there are a small area
in betwen two main loobs that are quite a bit down.
I´ve been using an 8 direction 4 square vertical array
on 80m for 30 years and on stuff right in the middle
of two main loobs I can see up to 10 dB difference.
This is something I built mysel

If I were younger, if I had enough resources and huge real estate, I would
go for 8-circle BSEF array, which is even simplier than 4-square (just two
phases involved)...

For signals that arrive from directions that are in between the main lobe
headings of a 4-square, you will lose up to a few dB of S/N compared to having
8 directions. Whether that matters to you is purely a personal performance vs.
complexity/cost decision. If 90% of what you work is covered b
Gary,
We are selling those 8 direction systems since 2007 at least. This is what
my records says.
And we only sell items I tested myself.
Those who can make A/B test between nearby “standard” and “new” directions
can tell you how important it is to have just few dB difference. Copy/no

A couple of companies, LBS and RemoteQTH, have started selling 8 direction 4-
SQ controllers.I'm trying to understand if this would be worthwhile. My
reasoning is that the main lobe is so broad you have the in-between 45 degree
directions covered anyway. Thoughts?73,Gary K9GS

Don,
Thank you for confirming the eBay part is not the same as the one
sourced from Digikey/Mouser. I have a couple from eBay (at a $1 a piece
I could not resist LOL), and a bunch from Digikey. The eBay ones will be
discarded immediately, before I get distracted and forget about it.

I got on about 0250z and CQ'd for awhile. The only caller was a VA3
station. I then did some S&P and worked OM2XW (with difficulty, the band
was awful) and EA6NB. Here in the Midwest we are getting the usual
springtime QRN which was making itself known last night. In another week or
so I'l
Well I personally had a dozen NA QSOs last night.
But the band went very quiet after 01.00Z . . . (I popped on again at 03.00,
but no calls)
Thank you to those that made the effort to come on . . . maybe we'll have
more next Wednesday !

S9 noise here last night - More then the usual S5-S7.
Heard Roger in there and called a couple times but QSB and noise kept me from
hearing him well enough to make a contact.
Tried a couple CQ's but nothing - band seemed dead at my QTH (noisy) in eastern
PA.
