The 20m part of the fan was tangled up with another antenna when I did the initial testing. Corrected the problem and did another test today. Way back when I discovered that the 160m Inv L loaded on just about all bands with the exception of 80m. The 160m antenna acts like a long wire at the higher frequencies. The antennas are collocated at the top of the hill being fed with 500' of LDF4.
VE3LDP is the Fan Dipole, VA3IMI is the 160m inv L.
No great surprise here! The fan blows away the 160m Inv L by about 5 db.
In the past I compared the 160m inv l to the 1/4 Vert just behind the house and the Inv L won. Up next comparing my 1/4 vert to the Fan.
