2EL End-Fire beverage antenna array CLASSIC

1 Review

This is 2 element beverage antenna array. In this End-Fire array the beverage antennas are very close to each other. Usually 2 to 6 meters. One beverage is shifted to front by the stagger distance. This array needs smaller room compare to broadside one. Big advantage is in higher F/B.
