I tried 3 different homebrew beams. I learned that for a fixed elevation on azimuth rotator, the optimum beam was 7 elements at 10 degrees elevation with a DELTA match on the driven element.\nI have great reception using a hamtronics preamp (lnk-450) on the shack end of a 15 foot run of 9913 coax. The reception is good to great from just a few degrees above the horizon up to the zenith or overhead.\n\nI tried 8 elements with a gamma match but was too sharp with little overhead gain.\nI tried a 7x7 cross yagi fixed at 20 dgrees with minimal success. The horizontally polarized 7 element delta match outperforms it vastly.\nI'm guessing the delta match helps with the higher angles. ( Delta match looks like a triangle at the center of the driven element.)\nConsult the antenna book by ARRL or search for information.\n\nPhoto of antennas at: http://members.aceweb.com/n2oeq\n\nHope this helps someone. 73, pat\n", "attachments": [] }
