[Lowfer] MLS in EN90xn

[Michael Sapp]

Hi All: I was somewhat puzzled why I was having a difficult time finding MLS only 80 miles away. Turns out I 

was looking for him on my NE EWE that points about 50 deg.   With MLS around 280, that is 130 degrees 

off the main heading. Even with a 120~125 degree 3 dB beamwidth, the side null at 130 degress off axis is 

enough to almost put MLS into the noise.  capture shows MLS on my SW EWE antenna. At the third

 tranmission sequence I switch to the NE antenna for the last dash in the "M" and the "L".  Then back to SW. 

  Explains why SIW has been elusive for me as well.....  73  Mike wa3tts
