A Reconsideration of DX and Contesting Antennas for the Low Bands

As I mentioned at our last club meeting, I have been working on a paper that argues for a reconsideration of DX and contesting antennas for the low bands.  This means that a smaller site would be required for any replacement station for Quartz Hill.  I argue in the paper that phased vertical arrays make the most sense for 160m through 30m for a NZ DX location.  Any site larger than about 1Ha would be adequate to build a collection of such arrays.

You can download the paper on the ZL6QH website.
