 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.
