stock vector 4000

here is the first pic of shockwaves prototype wideangle vector 4000, he has not adjusted it for best signal strength at distance or installed the upgraded connector so it will look a little different when it is finalised,

if he manages to extract more signal at distance than the stock optimised vector you are looking at the best performing single element vertical ever constructed for 11/10mtrs

"if he manages to extract more signal at distance than the stock optimised vector you are looking at the best performing single element vertical ever constructed for 11/10mtrs"

That's true. But then there's that pesky "if" part. And what appears to be a terrible mechanical set up.

i hope once youve got it tweaked for peak performance that youre willing to share all the meterials descriptions and final tuned lengths . freecell suggested in his comments about it that he felt going to a 3/4 or even a 7/8 inch main radiator could lead to a better pattern than the origional avanti . sirio basically did that with their LW-150 being 31 feet tall , but its only suited to fair weather areas according to everyones comments ive read on it . shockvave , your ground radial length and angle and of course the loop length are different and could noticably affect things better or worse .....

looking forward to more about it

wow thats a big antenna

bump back to top more info on this please

you think shockwave will reveal his secrets

bob85 · #10 11-02-2009, 08:08 PM

im sure he will, i have the measurements shockwave ended up with,
heres a pic of his modified vector4000 installed and tuned for best signal at distance.
