Re: [IRCA] KAZ versus Pennant/Flag

Nick -


Your question about approaching the noise floor is why I included the -53 dBi. With that low a signal level, I think there is a signal strength issue. Even with a beefy preamp (20 dB or so), it's still a bit low.


And to throw in an empirical check, last week's DKAZ had almost no audible signal on 531 kH.


As for F/B issues, as Kaz has said the 140' version has no real degradation of F/B at the top of the band. The 160' version has a some degradation. I don't remember the numbers so will have AutoEZ deliver an analysis.

The DKaz does indeed deliver less signal to the receiver at the low
end of the band.    But does that mean that the DX signals approach
the noise floor of the receiver with the 140 foot version?  Or are
there also front to back issues that arise at well?

Thanks.

Nick
