1. Interesting Antenna Stuff
Ray Sokola K9RS

2. Just some stuff to think about
G0KSC LFA,OWL etc
meter antennas in phase
N6BT new stuff
C3S Moxon by K9RS
HEX
FG-01 a nice present!

3. G0KSC OWA Optimized Wideband Array
OWA Optimized Wideband Array
OWL Optimized Wideband Low impedance
LFA Loop Fed Array
OP-DES Opposing Phase Driven Element System

5. G0KSC Loop Fed Antenna

6. 2 EL 10M LFA between 2 5 EL 6M LFA’s

7. The OP-DES Yagi
Opposing Phase Driven Element System Reduces side lobes and helps provide a much wider band antenna with constant performance characteristics

8. 2 element 28MHz OP-DES Yagi
another development of Justin Johnson, G0KSC

9. Available from http://store.rlham.com

10. fact lower than most people think
40 M stacks
The bottom antenna
can be pretty low, in
fact lower than most people think

11. A nice system for
“…spaced 2 of my Rohn 45s 100 feet apart broadside to about 60 degrees az.  Put 402CDs at about 100/50 on each tower.  Good for about db on signals at 22 degrees elevation.  It is showing that gain pretty consistently.  Usually EU sigs are about 5 to 10 db above the 2 el rotatable (much higher on another tower on top of the hill) by itself…”

12. Whatever happened to

14. This is a
Must Read !

15. others make comparisons.
N6BT makes the best antennas;

18. 20 meter 2 element Bravo mounted at 6' with remote switching on the parasitic element to change direction

19. K9RS C3S Moxon
What do you do when the movers bend the ends of your 20M elements to fit in the moving van?
You make it into a pseudo moxon

20. meter elements shortened by folding in using wire
I use a C3S with the 20
meter elements shortened
by folding in using wire
and nylon line

21. Hex Beams
They work pretty well

22. DX Engineering HEXX

23. JY7P

24. HEX
This is what it
Looks like if the
Center post
Breaks!

25. For Hex beams the center
Support is critical

26. The original with two ‘W’ shapped elements

27. New style HEX with ‘U’ shaped reflector

29. Hi-Z 4-8PRO Eight Element Tri-Band Array System
I'm sitting here listening to TX7M on Conditions are not good this morning and he's peaking about S5/S6 on the TX four square but takes long, deep fades down to S0, occasionally not even copyable. Other than an occasional static crash of S7, my S meter on the FT1000MP is sitting on S0. . .no bars even lit. The TX7 will fade down to where I can just barely tell he's there on the TX four square. When I switch to the 8 circle he's Q5 copy with an S4 meter reading! So not only does the 8 circle hearing him with a better SNR, but it's actually hearing him with greater absolute signal strength. It's totally amazing. I sit here and keep switching back and forth between the TX and RX arrays, thinking I'm doing something wrong or overlooking something. Now I know the TX four square hears very, very well. But the degree that the 8 circle is hearing better, both SNR and absolute signal level, is phenomenal. It's enough to make me almost think maybe I need to check out the TX four square when it gets to be daylight. You have absolutely hit the mark with the Plus6 amp.

30. Hi-Z 4-8PRO Eight Element Tri-Band Array System
The 4-8PRO can be scaled to fit in a smaller footprint for more space restricted locations with only a very minimal decrease in 160 meter performance. The smallest area that can be accomplished is a 42.5 foot radius or 85 foot diameter circle.

31. RDF
RDF is the difference between the  maximum forward gain in the direction of interest and the average gain in all directions of an antenna.
