Center Frequency of use 14.25 MHz
element length height
1 209.46 927.1 feed element
2 198.25 973.97
3 172.78 822.86
4 219.83 964.4
5 185.53 922.4
ok, if i am reading this right the elements are stacked vertically above and
below the fed element?
assuming the distances are in inches, your element 5 is about 5" from the
fed element? and elements 2 and 4 are about 8" apart??
assuming the above is correct, you have probably rediscovered the hazards of
runaway optimizations. aka: how to get super gain without really trying!
you will most likely find that the bandwidths are unusually narrow, and the
feed point impedance is extremely low or highly reactive... all signs of a
design that can't be fed without extremely high losses... and would only
work on one frequency, if at all.
