Parasitic Antenna Array with 2 Verticals

The 2-element parasitic array follow same principles as the Yagi. One of the verticals is parasitic and is the reflector. Delivers around 4-5 dB extra gain and has reasonable f/b. Easy to make for /P or temporary work. Have one facing USA or EU. Lots of fun. 73, Callum.

Next time you visit Cal, come ion for a beer. !!

that trip to new zeland part was funny. i know i am not alone in loving to tinker with antenna. thanks again for your videos!

The more I watch you, the more I can understand this miracle they call the Antenna.
You're very easy to listen to. And your content is always spot on.
Keep up the good work!

The doorbell skit was like watching The Two Ronnies! Haha
Great concept to fix one direction and attenuate the other. Very cool and interesting.🍻🤠

Callum I appreciate your time. I can't thank you enough. 🙌

Hi Cal,
Always enjoy these What If videos when you use MMANA. Hope Wendy is feeling better and you all stay safe. 73 WJ3U

Last time I was out on the beach my 12 year old 10m, very, very old, well used pole broke, so now I have a brand new pole and a the slightly shorter, old pole, so I can try this myself… but maybe not in a howling gale! ( Note to self… will have to ask Dave next door if he’ll lend me his fishing rod rest) Corrrr! Food for thought! Brilliant! Thanks Cal! 💐

This is fascinating - love this video! Cheers. Mark 2E0MSR

I built a half-wave vertical for 10m and a longer parasitic with a switch in it. No radials needed, and I can switch the parasitic element to reflector or director and swap directions. Works a treat.

Love your vids, going to give this a shot before the snow flies. Cheers!

That's what I use on my vehicle minus the groundplane radials. Love the bounce back setup!

As always another interesting presentation !

[jonpgjsf]

That explains a great deal !

In the new QTH I sank a couple of aluminium tubes ( 2" ID ) into the back lawn about 8 metres apart so I could play radio quickly and easily ( and take them down so as not to upset my new neighbours ! ).

One I used as the base for my Signature 9, and the other I used as a temporary mount for collinear atop of a 8 meter scaffold pole.

Using WSPR on the Sig 9 over a number of bands I was getting some lopsided results.

I have recently moved the Collinear to another location ( the new neighbours are getting used to the erections ! ) and the WSPR plot changed to be more even !

I have said it before, but this antenna stuff is Voodoo !!!

As has already been commented on… dropping by to see Roly… brilliant, and so
funny!
Keep up the good work!

I've built a 2m phased array years ago and man did that thing get out.

[Kazuyuki_Iwakami_JKNWD]

Thank you for sharing this info. This is what I am just going to do to form HF vertical beam😀

[samjones-oubn]

really cool brother !!! God bless family !!!

[Hydrostream]

So you knocking on guys door. How many takes did take. So you 2 kepted a straight face without laughing 😊😊😊😊😊

[butchdingle]

Lol like the trip to ZL land Cal another vid to keep the grey matter working and the interest flowing... 73

[RobHarbaugh]

I appreciate your journalism, I was concerned that phased verts didn't work until you went and double checked with Roly. Nice bit of editing there :D
