This kind of goes with the other thread that has morphed into the FCP topic, but is a bit different.
With an FCP feeding the INV-L, the bottom of the INV-L will be at least 10 feet off the ground. With my existing trees I can barely get up 50 feet from the ground. So, the INV-L will have 40 feet of vertical radiator. Using a pair of resonant gull winged radials feeding the INV-L at the base, the vertical part will be 50 feet. From what I’ve read, the FCP is a better solution over a pair of resonant gull wing radials, but I’ve also read that vertical length of an INV-L is important. So there’s a tradeoff to be considered. Comments? Due to real estate considerations, I can put up only 2 one-half wavelength resonant radials Mark K3MSB _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
