Hi Mike,
Yes, I meant use of XELEDOP to measure the patterns of arrays of Beverage antennas. The results of XELEDOP measurements of the patterns of a large electrically steerable array of 220 foot Beverages used from about 7-30 MHz were never published. I'm sorry I wasn't clearer by failing to clarify that the XELODOP reference was for pattern measurements of a log periodic antenna. 73 Frank W3LPL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Waters" <[email protected]> To: "Frank Donovan" <[email protected]> Cc: "topband" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 6, 2016 8:25:39 PM Subject: Re: Topband: K1FZ ground rod difficulty On Wed, Apr 6, 2016 at 2:57 PM, < [email protected] > wrote: Ground rod problems aren't unusual, among the many excellent alternatives is to use chicken wire laid on the ground or slightly buried. Bingo!!!! KM1H has shallow soil, and he uses some kind of plastic-coated welded wire fencing with good results. I forget the details, but he's posted lots of info about that on qrz.com and/or eham.net . <blockquote> One of my former employers built hundreds of Beverage antennas ... http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=AD0630092 </blockquote> Frank, did you mean Beverage antennas? That PDF appeared to be about a log periodic. If you did mean Beverages, where was the chicken wire located in relation to them? 73, Mike www.w0btu.com _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
