Years ago I cleared a 200 foot path in among some hard woods....
In this path I've got two 120 foot towers in line with Europe. The towers are 500 feet apart......Its pretty well open on the sides ....[snip].... If those two towers are truly IN LINE with Europe, won't 'most any antenna you hang BETWEEN them (i.e., from one tower to another, like a Sterba or several half-squares) radiate 90 degrees AWAY from Europe? To make an antenna that radiates TOWARD Europe, you could make a "wire beam" by using a rope or wire strung between the towers as a "boom", create "elements" by throwing several essentially-half-wavelength-long inverted-V's ACROSS that "boom" spaced some fraction of a wavelength apart, use the "element" farthest from Europe as a "reflector", feed the next one, and use the others as directors. Ergo sum, a humongous beam "in line" with Europe! -- --Myron A. Calhoun. Five boxes preserve our freedoms: soap, ballot, witness, jury, and cartridge PhD EE (retired). "Barbershop" tenor. CDL(PTXS).
