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

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

Joe,
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
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,

I'm dealing with life on a small lot, too. I have a wire up (quarter

matching network (aka tuner) on 80, 40, etc but it does NOT want to load
on 160 meters. I can hear quite a bit but TX is woefully inadequate. I

Hello Greg,
We see the photo there. How big is your lot?
If there's any way to get coax from your house into those big woods to the
east or west, you might have it made. You could use the trees as antenna
supports for an inverted-L and Beverages.

Go for it. I live in the middle of the Appalachians and my Beverage wires go
up and down many hills and valleys and cross many ravines and work great. On

Not to worry. Your Beverage will work fine, as long as you feed it, etc.
