How directional is it?

figures out to be about 80% forward lobe.
Make sure you aim it, then.

A 3 element vertical with a rotor would be more efficient. But
a y quad or pdl 2 style beam would be better for dx/ local. Inverted
V will handle a kw, if it's tuned...so many choices.


Don't want a beam for it. Going with an inverted V and NVIS. Only
reason for it is to communicate with the REACT folks who help out
with our ham emergency group and the EMC. And I might shoot some
skip now and then, LOL!

Rock on, you alligator station!


Hahahahaha! Will do...
