Mobile hamstick vs tuning 102' whip

<< < (2/2)

Josh:
One might do some ad hoc tests to see who put out better.
A field strength meter would be handy, or a receiver tuned to the freqs in question.
Set the fs meter or rx a wavelength or two from the test subject and see who comes out on top.
In past testing on a 10m mobile setup with 25w rf, a single 1/4w fibreglass job was veritably destroyed by the 3/4w fibreglass (3 1/4w in series in the same fibreglass rod) job as to a lower angle of radiation, going by the fs readings alone. Linear loading works.
