Default V Beam, do they work?
wrote:

SNIPPED

That antenna almost equals a three element yagi in gain, but the 3 ele
yagi has a HPBW of 60 degrees. The V beam has a HPBW of 18 degrees. Not
so good. Even if I try two V beams, one inside the other, I can only
get 3dB more gain.

I was wondering if I was missing something, because I keep hearing
stories about how good big V beams work.


Something does not make sense!!

There HAS to be a difference in gain between two antennas IF their HPBW
are different. Isn't it the case that the narrower beam has to have
higher gain?
