Subject:  75 / 80m Four square installation using EF-180BV verts & Comtek box Author:  David Aslin <david@aslin.demon.co.uk> Date:  07-Oct-2000 15:11:07 Les, I have just dismantled and sold a 2-ele phased array based on EF180BVs. Whilst my experience may not be directly relevant to your 4-square, I can put on record that the 2ele with one-eighth wavelength spacing worked extremely well, getting me box placings in several CQWW 80m single band contests and 253 countries in 24 months of sporadic operating. I used ground radials - approx 80 per vertical, most 30 feet or less long (restricted lot space) and Lewallen phasing per ON4UN's book. The array is now in the hands of Dave Lawley, G4BUO, so expect a big signal from Dave in forthcoming contests! Good luck with your 4-square. I'd appreciate a summary of any mail you receive on the subject, as I have in mind a 4-square when I relocate to California later this month. 73 Dave G3WGN One of the M6T gang G5M in ARRL DX and CQ WPX contests in 2000 W6/G3WGN from November 2000 -------------------------------------------- Force12Talk mailing list provided as a service by Force 12 Antennas, Inc.
