[Hi-zreceivingarraydiscussions] new product release.

[Mike Zak]

Hi Lee,

I have been impressed by the triangular array.  I never would have guessed it would make lowband operations so manageable.  It really is a work of art, a game changer.  I started off with one of your 4el systems but went to the 3el because of some issues on my lot and lawn, but I have been very pleased.  This summer I plan to get back to a 4el or 8el but the 3el has been great.

Way back in my youth I worked for one of our intelligence agencies and used the AN/FLR-9 “Wullenweber” receive array and gained a lot of respect for these vertical arrays – you’ve done a GREAT job making all this stuff practical, simple, and affordable.

Looking forward to trying out one of your new controllers.  Right now I am using Green Heron Everywhere.

73,

Mike, W1MU

Hi Mike,
     I have a personal Ham friend in Spokane Wa who casually mentioned to me that he simply did not have enough room for the original 4-square. And then mentioned it again, and maybe again. So, I sat down and drew up a schematic for the Triangle array which I shared with him. He was very happy after constructing this array. I decided that I already had a working schematic I should go ahead and produce the array although I was not convinced it would be popular. The acceptance of this product to date has amazed me. My favorite comment about the array is that one can tune in a BC station and rotate the direction control and often listen to 3 or 4  different BC stations in different directions. I almost did not produce the triangle array which it turns out would have been a big mistake.

I can attest to the effectiveness of the triangular array with the 50’ spacing.

I did extensive A/B testing on 80m over three seasons, comparing it to a 450’ 2-wire Beverage running NE/SW.  The Triangular Array was as effective as the Beverages in 100% of the cases in which it was tested, and often it was better (if for no other reason that it was switchable).

I used 23’ verticals on homemade mast stubs with standard copper tubing as a ground rod, painted the verticals a flat black, and put the array out on a section of lawn.  It was invisible and it worked well.
