They were all astisfactory and very forgiving. Most were about 4 or 5 wavelengths on a side (leg) and they were about twice as long as wide. They all worked well over a wide range of frequencies. It`s just a terminated transmission line with a big spread in the middle so it will radiate. Matching is a cinch. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI Well, I'll give one a try. I can get four 15m poles at a reasonable price (I've planted hundreds of pine trees on the property but the tallest is only 25' so far and not where I need them - should have planned that a bit better!!) What sort of feed arrangement did you use? Alan |
