sure, closer to the ground you get more loss in the ground. also there may
be some power going into other lobes and also the vertical lobe may be wider giving lower peak gain. this is one of the big reasons to do modeling, the changes in pattern and gain do not always follow what you might expect. "Ken Bessler" wrote in message news:kgkBe.8782$Eo.6158@fed1read04... I was modeling a 5el 20m yagi. I changed antenna height over realistic ground. As I expected, lowering from 50' to 25' changed the take off angle from 18 degrees to 28 degrees. What suprised me was the forward gain went from 14.44 dbi (@50') to 12.63 dbi (@25'). Is this normal? -- Just my 2¢... 73 es gd dx de Ken KGØWX Grid EM17ip, Flying Pigs #-1055 Proud builder & owner of Elecraft K2 #4913 |
