Toot

Written by Kelvin n0mql EN35ld on 2024-12-04 at 19:35

I'm interested in erecting a #20meter #4square #VerticalPhasedAntennaArray for #HamRadio but haven't found anyone who makes one. Probably have to build it myself.

So far, my searches of the web haven't turned up anything. I get the reason is a 20m yagi is reasonable for most, but I'm disallowed a tower. But I've enough space on ground for phased verticals.

Any of my fellow #FediHams know of one?

Just look at 40m & math out the differences?

@kelvin0mql There are phasing boxes and verticals for 20m by COMTEK (COM-ACB-20-A and COM-20VA-4P), available e.g. at DX Engineering. At a combined price of about 1.5k$, I'd probably build it myself for a fraction of it.

@DJ5CW

Funny, I'd searched DXE, and had only found 160, 80, & 40.

But yeah, I don't need fancy remote switching. I'd be happy to go outside and turn a knob. Probably leave it pointing NW (Europe) most of the time.
