Good simple vertical beam.
A simple beam for DX made from a vertical antenna and a single wire reflector. I have been using this for DX work and it works great. Testing over Australia to Canada gives a 12db difference off the side. Close spacing makes this a very effective DX antenna, but not for local work due to its low angle of radiation. Setup shown is for 20 metres, although by tuning the reflector it may work for 40m as well, but have not tried that yet.
