Vertical antennas

Saturday, June 18 2005


Alan,

Now that is interesting. But getting to the rods to the N might take
some work. It might be easier to just add some extra rods to the North.
But the old story about verticals being omni is not always the case.
Mine really puts a lobe to the N/NE. Now not as much as the beverage
did, but the signal strength is higher on the vertical and the noise
level is less. The beverage rain a few hundred feet from the powerlines
running the same direction. Another thing that the vertical picks up the
locals/semi locals stronger too. But there is more apt to have stations
under them too.

73s,

Patrick
