3 element beam

[Julius Fazekas n2wn]

An 80M vertical at sea... be still my throbbing heart!

I'm curious Eric, are you aware of many (any) 3
element yagis on oceangoing vessels? Seems like that
antenna would take some severe punishment, depending
on where one sailed? I can visualize serious QSB in 50
foot waves...

Cheers,
Julius

No, I had expressed two different opinions. First, I was responding to the
question of whether a 3 ele beam was better for QRP than a vertical. And in
an aside, I had remembered that mc was looking for a SMALL antenna for use
at sea. Obviously, a yagi isn't a small antenna at HF. I was remarking that
some of the antennas, like the PAC-12, work very well portable, but at sea
would probably fall apart. QSB would be the least of problems in 50 foot
waves. Hi.
