Hi Ben,

And welcome back, It is my belief that a 3 element beam will outperform 4
stacked KB6KQs, here is why; you get about 6 db gain on both, that means
that signals will be increased by 6 DB. But with a omni (like the kb6kq) you
pick up noise all around 360 deg. So if you have a power line that is
radiating noise or even a TV that is say 20db over S9 you have no way of
tuning out the interference with an omni, but with a beam you can. And a 3
element beam can be turned with a small TV rotor. The KB6KQs, M2 HO Loops,
and the Pars are all good mobile antennas, but then you can tune the noise
out by going away from powerlines and the such.

Either way good luck,

Jerry W9FS

Hello Listers,

 Well after I thought I would no longer need this list
I find myself once again needing it so I am back
again. I just last week bought a used FT-100. This
coming spring I will moving into a house. I still find
myself struggling with one problem. The problem is
with antennas. My orignial thought was to go these
loops from KB6KQ and stack 4 loops on a pole and achor
it to the house. I have no tower and they frankly cost
to much. My other thought I have recieved no comment
on is what about these long wire dipoles that Antenna
Works makes for 6 and 2 meters. I only have a puny tv
rotator.

thanks & 73,

Ben Ramler, K0BLR
