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.

Quick Ham Radio blast before bed!

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.

We’ve added a field camera so we MIGHT be able to see the sheep and lambs in the field today!

In this video, we progress from the Parasitic array and use the techniques in Phase Angles and Velocity Factor to build a switchable array left/right. This can also be driven without the phasing loop to crate a N/S pattern but personally I don’t think it’s worth it – and the tuning goes to pot too. OK if you are desperate I guess! Callum.

Hilarious that I didn’t have a ROGER, YES or QSL in my bank to press 🙂
