20 dB gain on 20 meters?!?
"Buck" wrote in message ... Well, if i am not mistaken, in order to gain another 3 db, he would have to setup another similar array. That would be twelve stepirs. Then for another 3 db, he would have to add yet another twelve stepirs. The second three steppirs only gained him 3 db over the first three and the second steppir only gained him 3 db over the first one. so, what does that three db mean? Buck, N4PGW Yeah, I especially question the practicality of going from 4 antennas to 6. It picked him up less than 2 db, but doubled the physical size of the array - same width, twice as high.
