Sal wanted to test it on my satellite demo\nstation to see how it performed against the Arrow antenna\nwe were using.\n\nWe set up an A/B switch on the UHF port of the IC910H so\nwe could switch between their quadrifilar and the Arrow\non a tripod. We tried it on FO-29 and SO-50 during\ntwo passes. The results were not surprising. The Arrow\nalways did better but the quad did hear stations. They were\njust down a few db depending on the elevation.\n\nTheir quad is housed in a pvc tube and was on a 10' pvc\nmast. It is very stealthy and that's a nice characteristic\nof the antenna. If you live in antenna restricted area,\nthis antenna will pass for a vent pipe or as part of a flagpole.\nBut there is no way this antenna can perform as well as a 7 el\nbeam adjusted for proper polarity. But it does work and\nyou can hear stations on FO-29. SO-50 is a much weaker\nbird and signals were weak on the quad. But you could\nhear stations and you could make contacts.\n\nThere is a video of my demo station at Hamcation on youtube.com\nYou can see Sal sitting in back of the radio, flipping the\nA/B antenna switch during the passes. The audio is not perfect\nso it may be hard to hear the difference between the antennas.\n\nThey are working on a vhf version. Their website is\nhelicomtech.com\n\nAntenna selection depends on many different factors. You\nwrite down your objectives and then consider your\nconstraints when making your decision to purchase. Every\ncase may be a little different.\n\n73,\nJohn K8YSE\n\n\n", "attachments": [] }
