you know what would have been really cool would have been to have before and after field strength tests on your buddys pdl2/pdl3

sorry irock been really busy, havnt had a chance to play.how bout you?I am liking some of the post though .Its helping me understand how the pdl2 works!still debating on building a 4 element true quad or using the pdl2 with 2 quad elements in front.it would be cool to have the 2 antennas side by...

[ The next thing to notice is it's the vertical dipole that feeds the horizontal loop and the horizontal dipole that feeds the vertical loop. If the dipoles radiated significant energy, the PDL might have less then 3 db isolation between vertical and horizontal since the dipole and quad...

from what i understand the only reason the quad out performs the yagi is the driven element of the quad has more gain, after that adding directors on either the quad or the yagi is a wash between them.back when, we made a quagi just because that was the parts i had.some people say by making a...

no i diddnt , how did you send it?

Cool Irock ! I scraped putting the yagi elements in front of the pdl2 as i couldnt get even near a good match and the antenna wouldnt even near resonate where i wanted it to.I ended up putting a quad director in front of the pdl2 to see what it would do.I was able to get it to match and...

looking foward to seeing the end result!im sure it will be impressive.Just picked up a new toy myself yesterday.Its a used hygain 54 ft hd tilt / crankup.got it for what i thought was a great price.its going to start looking like an antenna farm around here as i have a 37 foot crankup up...

bump , anybody???:bored:

hi iroc 817 , can you tell me more about the directors??? are they put together like the reflector with fiberglass holding the quad elements? or yagi elements holding but isolated from the quad elements??? more info please??? and thanks for all who have taken the time to get back to me , darryl

Hi to everybody. This is my first post.Thanks for having me worldwidedx!!! I'm back into the hobby (I have'nt hamed for 15 years.) I have the bug again! Years ago a friend of mine helped me put together an antenna. We took a pdl-2 and a moonraker and put them together. It consisted of the quad...
