Wow.

WOW - Nice station. I am interested on thoughts regarding the performance of the stacked array mono-band Yagis over the stacked stepper DB42 antennas. Nice to have a view of your station here on Utube.
Good DX - Regards Jaye VK2SD

@vk2sd Jaye...so far I have not tried using the DB42s stacked. I can but have not. I have checked out the performance differences between the stacked arrays and the DB42s. It is about what you would expect. The DB42 give me a versatile tool for multipliers and SO2R setup.

I just wonder if all this Antenna goodness in db gain is not zeroed out by the huge cable losses? Even with the best Jacketed cable you will have huge losses in Rx and Tx Power over those huge runs from the shack.

@Dreadlk Actually very low losses. The feedline is 1 5/8" Heliax. Loss is less than 0.4 db to the farthest antenna. Phasing lines are 1/2" Heliax.

Gads, that looks like a bunch of work and effort. All that metal will cause a magnetic anomaly which will no doubt ruin the current FAA charts! Wow, that is an impressive installation.

Beyond awesome! Now, please don't obliterate my puny 100w into a vertical signal from my postage stamp sized lot, as I try to net that rare DX in a pileup!

Nice antenna farm. Still nice to know you can still put up towers without much hassles from zoneing restrictions. Charlie N9SOR

@forabetterlife1 Charlie...this is a result of two years of work to be able to get this done. It took K1VR 6 months of writing to get the building permit.

All that must have cost a fortune!

I think you have the entire world covered Craig. Nice group of antennas on the high bands. Can't wait to work you from the new station. JD/N0IRS
