Anyone have good stories about the NCC-2?
I've had good results with the NCC-1, essentially the same circuitry

I think the topography here 4 square is out.
It's pretty steep on either side of my creek.
So I think that leaves Beverages and loops.
I think I will try to realign my NE Beverage to get 580' out of it.
Since that would be 80 degrees beamwidth I might be able to move it more
north but still cov
The advice we were given from Hi-Z for a new 4 square was not more
elevation difference between elements than ~4 feet. ~20% of element
length. The topography that happens between elements, eg spanning a
creek, might not matter much given the simple single ground rod ground
per element, but hav

I have a pair of VE3DO loops spaced 5/8 wavelength that work just fine.
Both are on relatively flat ground, but with lots of slope all around.
Write-up is here.
Jim,
Thank you very much.
And I can confirm that even short (300') Beverages work on slopes.

I don't think a 4 square would work i these conditions.
I was surprised how well the short Beverages worked out.

While watching another one of Steve's(VE6WZ) awesome videos got me to
thinking about doing this to with short Beverages...
I thinking about end-fire phased where one stepped in front of the other.
I have read what ON4UN has written on this subject and just how close
