Looking for some INFO on how to Stack Big Wheel Antennas ?

Operating Frequencies TX-421.250 to RX-439.250 ATV repeater.



Would like to feed 4 antenns with equal lengths of coax from one of the
Power Splitters if possible.

I thing the stacking distance is around 16 inches.

And There is something about right hand circular and left hand circular
For proper phasing.



Thanks Dave

I don't know if my stacked big wheels on 2 are any guide, but here is my
layout.

The 4 Antennas are spaced 48" apart. The 50 ohm coax goes to a center
mounted point.
Two coaxes come from the center point, the first to the center of the bottom
pair. The second
to the center of the top pair. Each antenna is fed from the centerpoint of
its pair.
My big wheels seem to have a very broad bandwidth, with low swr across all
of 2 meters.

Thus 16 inches sounds about right.
Regards,
Ed, N5EI
