Hi !
...yes good antenna...roughly were looking at 10,5 dBI (give of take 0,5 dB)
And front to back in the order of 20 dB.
But bare in mind...that "free-space"..
If we situate the antenna at say 30 feet above ground. most signals on the back are above -25 dB (depending on angle arriving) with a...
Often it is how one interpertates things...
From my perspective:
It is just the "key" to try them let them work together in a way it was intended.
Im trying to look at it from a different angle:
We are now looking at parameters as individual parameters to make a strong convincing point..but...
At the moment im using also the fighter 5000.
Although i cant provide scientific proof as ny old wilson 1000 past away...
im having the feeling this one is a step up.
With 200 Watts pep my range is always about 150km from static mobile to static mobile with a similar setup. In fm..guess about...
Im hoping its center fed...although the tuning advice says "cut" the top..
So that leads me to think its end fed.
In aspect to the "source". Of course anyway can play a trick etc, and in all honesty..i think we have spoken before that they should do a center fed halve wave, so im not astonished...
Hi marconi !..
The antenna reminds me of a funny story here on forum about a employee and boss of sirio..
Think bob made it ?...
Anyway..would you happen to know if it is central fed or end fed ?...
Hoping it is central fed as that could actually bring something, and its not another end fed...
There is a search function on this forum.

The same could be said about some HAM activations ?

Thats the beauty of internet these days...
proof is what people want...
To give a example a couple small islands I did last year..

Sometimes on 385L most of the time on 555.
I do call from time to time around 1500-1600 UTC.
19DX348...348 Holland The Netherlands..or something similair hihi.. on 385L
I get home from work and prop, if it is there is open towards Caribean/USA
So best option for me to check is 385L then.

That new one probarbly isnt 88mm but 89mm101 ?
85AT046 has been very active lately..and 257/14cdr10 is a nice one as well...but difficult as he isnt really calling CQ but response to calls...mostly French.
Good hunting !
Hi guys,
Although the band seems a bit low last couple of days...the USA is still being heard, here in The Netherlands.
couldnt be on that long today..Hope to hear a couple of our forum users soon !

sadly he went QRT.
All i heard was one burst of : CQ 276AT I didnt get the 0 at all just that..
..been monitoring for days..... its still zzz in my ears hihi.
The positive news !
He left some of his gear to 276at101 a old well known DX station.
So there is a active station again !
Hi !
Well..in all honesty, i had the same point of view in the beginning.
Sadly it was incorrect.
Attached a fast calculation..by all means.. not optimised to show maximum 'proof'..
but allready im seeing several S-units in take off advantage.
both antennas are the same on the same mast and...
On 11 meter DXing we are dealing with a thing called Faraday Rotation.
As soon as someone sees a large difference between a vertical and horizontal antenna. It is primairly NOT due to the polarisation but for most because the antennas have different take off angles or...there is a large...
Hi !
Been trying now for a couple of days...not easy from here.
Just lisning to zzz all day, and the occasional blind caller.
Nauru came in a couple times though, so my hopes are still high !
tnx for all the info's...always nice to read.

I can imagine you have had that experience.
Though i doubt the difference made is because of yagi versus quad.
(especially when placed at a decent height).cause i never had that experience.
And yes, i have tested constructed measured etc.
Perhaps the yagi's didnt perform to its abbiltily ? Or...
