"Do you have suggestions for antennas I should check out?" I am listening to Radio Marti and too jammers on the same frequency. Cuba is the target. Who knows where the transmitters are? Marti is said to be in Miami but that is not necessarily its transmitter location. Likewise the jammers may be in Cuba or elsewhere. LocaL Jammers must be much more numerous to cover the same territory for a large area, but they are more effective. The band is 25 meters, about 12 MHz, a year-round performer. Monitoring Radio Marti in Houston with a small battery portable complete with its telescopic antenna convinces me that a listener is better served using horizonta polarization due to the nulls off the antenna tips which reject interference. The antenna should also be rotatable for maximum signal and, or, minimum interference. A large antenna is usually impractical to rotate. Curtains and rhombics can have high gain and directionality. You can erect enough of these to cover all azimuths desired, then you don`t need to rotate any antennas. So many antennas are usually not possible for the amateur. For the radio amateur, an assortment of Yagis mounted on rotators can cover all desired frequency bands and directions effectively and efficiently. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI |
