Hello,

Dumb question for all of the experts:

In a beam antenna, such as a Yagi, Quad, Hexbeam, Moxon square, etc
what purpose does the REFLECTOR server during RECEIVE???
Does it enhance the received signal any at all, or, in the case of a quad,
are you receiving only as if you only had a vertical loop antenna??

==============================

Receiving and transmitting antennas are reciprocal. They behave identically
in performance and radiation pattern for either direction of transmission.
It's just another law of nature, the word of God, or a scientific dictate
according to your view of the World.
