This amazing discovery was highlighted and proven to work by a Caribbean station many years ago. They built one for 20m band and pointed it towards North America. I promise to get around to building this and also pointing at NA. If I had the room, a certain winner for 80m – but 40m would also be great fun! It’s a PAIR of parasitic verticals, phased together – so very easy to make. See what you think! Callum.

The triangular array is a variation of the 2-element phased array but the big advantage is that it covers 360 degrees. This assumes you can fit a switchable phasing harness. I have to thank John Gendron NJ4Z for making me the switch-box and I apologise for not fitting this sooner. But other projects have kept me away from this one. See what you think anyway! Callum.

Hi! It’s Friday again and I’m back with my radio, an antenna and a keen ear. See if you can hear me and join in, chat or just listen. Let’s have a blast! Callum.
The most important piece of information you should be giving out is your signal report. After that, you Name and QTH. Have in reserve some snippets of other information so you don’t hesitate; radio, antenna and power (for instance) – some folks like a weather report too. Callum.
