[80m] 4 square

Mon, 7 Jan 2002 05:06:17 -0600

I normally run 2-wire beverages although this year I have experimented with
the W8JI short 4 square receiving antenna (works very well with the revised
design-not yet on his website though but will be shortly).  The 80 mtr 4
square, in most cases, will outperform various RX antennas (beverages,
pennants/loops) pretty much eliminating the need for them.   Only on fairly
rare occasions will the beverages hear something that I can't hear on the 4
sq.

To the Eighty meter gang,  you know who you are.

It is so good to see the flash of action here.  Really.

How well do the foursquare hear?  Do you need separate receive antennas?
