WX0B Multiband phasing system A+
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
Jay's (WX0B) W9AD Multiband Vertical Controller System has worked wonders for me. (See NCJ 2006 Mar/Apr edition)
What I truely enjoy about the system is how well it works in directivity and stong nulls. I have had two previous four squares on a small ranch with plenty of room, so I have somthing to compare to.
The F/S and F/B are comparable but due to suburban ambient RF noise, I can't give you an exact comparision between locations.
It just works in pulling weak stations out of strong noise at my QTH compared to multiband verticals I tested it against or the MA80/40V antenna standing alone.
You'll be very pleased with it's perfomance in your back yard.
I use two Cuschcraft MA80/40V's. Very stealth like the componants used in this system. It gives one the pleasure of using an array where most could never fit.
And having 40 and 80 meters in one system is awesome from this typical suburban site near a very busy county line road and highway along commercial area. You can see the Ferrari/Land Rover dealership light from their glowing neon signs in my living room at night.
I think Jay and I spoke at least 5 times a week. He is a great ham to deal with and took his time to educate me on this system.
My experience with this system was really the best of all worlds. LP DX is now available to me on the lowbands and I know I have a manufacturer that is well known for insuring his customers receive the upmost in support.
If I did one thing differently, I would have gone with a system for 30/40M. Less noise but 80M is too much fun to give up.
You'll have to have a strong rig when working to pull out weak DX out for the QSO. But without the array, good luck. At least at my QTH.
I am very satisfied with this phasing device. A lot of technology in a custom built system for your dual band request.
I'd give it a 10- We need to up the rating system-
