I am hoping to construct a Waller Flag RX antenna on a 56' Heights
aluminum tower for 80 and 160M RX. The ideal location from aesthetic,
RF and maintenance-of-a-civil -family-climate standpoints is midway
(150' separation) between two existing LM-470 towers now separated by
about 300'. One ha
Joe,
You might consider that there is interaction of the Waller Flag and the
other two towers as well as your transmit antenna while on receive.
I suggest that you detune both of the other towers, as well as the transmit
antenna while using the WF on receive to eliminate them re-radiating noi
Interesting. My rcv array is probably 500 ft from the Xmit antenna or
any antenna so I am probably ok? My 70ft tower is 70ish feet from the
160 inverted l. I wonder if there is much to be gained by attempting to
detune the tower.

I've just recently been reading up on Waller Flags, and am certainly no
expert, but my impression so far is that an HWF (horizontally polarized
flag), mounted up in the air on a tower, should be less affected by tall
vertical thingies in the area; and less prone to local noise in the area

Steve, yes, you're the second person to mention that characteristic.
Although it makes sense now that you mention it, I really didn't
appreciate that difference. I suspect that the detuning step would be
worthwhile anyway, and several other respondents have offered some good
advice on accompl
