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 should also give credit to Tim, K3LR, on the DXE side for pushing through the collaboration with YCCC that led to these kits now being available. Please see: http://www.dxengineering.com/search/brand/dx-engineering/product-line/yccc-r eceive-vertical-array-kits-and-kit-packages. On the YCCC side, WW1M also gets credit for the original design work on PCB's and custom enclosures.
You can download a copy of the user's manual from: http://static.dxengineering.com/global/images/instructions/dxe-yccc-3inline. pdf. There is extensive technical information on the arrays as well as detailed kit building instructions in the manual. To learn more about what's available, please read the manual. Please note that I have no personal affiliation with DXE other than the collaboration I just described. I make no money for my efforts. Please direct your technical questions to mailto:yccctechsupp...@verizon.net and not to DX Engineering. The e-mail comes directly to me but I prefer you send e-mail to this address rather than to my personal e-mail address. My personal e-mail inbox fills up regularly with lots of unrelated messages and it is easy for me to miss your e-mails. The tech support e-mail goes to a separate inbox where it gets my immediate attention. I would also be interested in hearing from others who have built and installed one of these systems. 73, John W1FV -----Original Message----- From: Topband [mailto:topband-boun...@contesting.com] On Behalf Of Glenn Biggerstaff Sent: Monday, December 07, 2015 11:52 AM To: topband@contesting.com Subject: Topband: 9 circle array 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 so did you build it on a pc board or on perfboard?
