The Best Antenna is one that is "In the Air and On the Air"! As any good antenna experimenter knows, the more antennas the better, that way you can test and see how they are really working. You won't know you have a good antenna if you can't compare it with others!


With a variety of antennas available and you can use the antenna that is generally more optimum for the particular distance, direction, and time of day is better than using an amp. All the antennas at K0UO have been field measured in the Far field, so I know where the RF goes.


From the 195 foot tower looking to the SW you can see some of the 100 poles

The Voice of America antenna system at the Bethany, OH Relay Station used re-entrant Rhombics, which was 90% efficient by re-phasing the power instead of heating up termination resistors, in this system. My antennas also uses the re-entrant system, the Rhombic is terminated in a transmission line, which in turn is coupled back to the input through the proper voltage-matching and phasing networks.
