I've been modeling V beams off and on for a few years now, and never
can seem to get one that has useful gain.

Has anyone seen a successful model anyplace of a two or three wave V
with good gain??


Tom,

Some questions.

What is "good" gain?

What frequency?

How high?

Try this at 10 MHz. Dimensions in feet.
