Re: [IRCA] Array Solutions SAL-30

Guy Atkins sent me this link awhile ago, don't know if you've seen it Les.

That's with a slightly larger version of the same antenna I believe.

A smaller and earlier version, closer to what you might be able to 
handle is here:

Problem with smaller ones, is that you may null a strong station, but 
there's nothing left to hear on the channel, as you're only left with 
the noise floor.   An antenna with a good null is not necessarily a 
good antenna. (if effectively, everything else is partially nulled 
also; phased antennas usually are lossy)


best wishes,

Nick
