No "signal cancellation" occurs at any angle. Except for conductor loss,
every watt of power you feed into it is radiated, regardless of the angle. What does happen at narrow angles is that the radiation resistance drops, which can increase loss, although it typically has to drop quite a bit before the increase is significant. It also narrows the antenna's bandwidth, so you'd have to retune after a smaller frequency change. Roy Lewallen, W7EL Chuck W. wrote: I've moved the legs up to about "level" but on the same plane it is in a "Vee" configuration, close to 90 degrees. It seems to be performing OK, but I'm concerned that at 90 degrees or less some kind of signal cancellation can occur. True? Probably preferable to have them 100 degrees or better angle? Thanks, Chuck |
