Hi Kaz,

Are the Double Corner Fed Flags the same as two Corner Fed Loops? What is the spacing between the flags. I went the Corner Fed Loop options due to the space and tree-mast combinations that I had in my yard. Thanks for all of the great antenna development work you have done!

 My new Double Corner Fed Flag antenna is up
 but needs some more and very
 careful dimensioning I think. A huge
 willow tree isn't making this easy. It
 has more signal (EZNEC says 7 dB) than
 a DKAZ requiring the same space and
 height since the two loops are
 rectangles rather than triangles and
 therefore have more area underneath
 them. However, I am not getting as good
 F/B as I'd like or as I could get from
 the DKAZ, but it seems adequate for
 sunrise work to the west.
 
 LSR here was 11:20 today so I started
 DXing just a few minutes prior to
 1100 in hopes of Tonga but little trace
 and bad slop from NM. Over to 1098
 and V7AB had audio and did so much of
 the time til about 1131:30 when it
 seemed it was cut. Music, mostly island
 mx and ancr in island lang at
 times. Bothered by slop from KKLL on
 early and even KEXS running day rig at
 night clobbering KAAY 1090.
 
 I had weak audio at times from 4QR 612
 and 2NR 738 but 702 was more
 interesting usually with 2BL which is
 just a bit low of 702 sometimes
 audible but often mixed with NZ which
 is almost on 702 and had mx and a
 different ancr. NZ rose atop around
 1125 for a bit. A third considerably
 weaker carrier is a bit above 702.
 
 My apologies for sending the again, but
 Gary hasn't learned to keep off the
 keyboard.
