Good morning
I need help. Now working on 5 elements OWA Yagi. I have now bought Quad 4 elements n 11m band. I really care about the work of DX, but I also have a lot of colleagues in the area of 300 km. For this purpose I have a vertical Mantova Turbo, but after the ground wave she reaches a maximum of 250 km. I thought that Quad vertically will get the premises and it will not be worse on DX. Any manufacturer or owner of antennas advises against vertical polarization on DX. I live on a hill of 380 meters above sea level. The mast is about 11 meters high. I live above the world's largest salt mine, Wieliczka. Is it worth placing this Quad vertically? Can you somehow calculate what will happen to the quad's vertical angle?
Thank you Darek 161DL01
