Hi: Guys.
I just bought 3 Winegard HD-4400's and I want to stack 3 of them
in a vertical array.
I don't want to use 3 baluns & a 3 way splitter backwards as I
feel the loss of the three baluns and the splitter would defeat
the purpose of trying to achieve gain in the stacked array.
Would I be better off using 300 ohm twin lead to connect the
top & bottom antennas to the center one then use one balun
at the center antenna feed point or add sections of aluminum
feed line so there is one continues feed line for all three
antennas then just use 1 balun on the center antenna as the feed point.
I'm not sure if the continues feed line would throw off the impedance
from the 300 ohm at the center.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Bruce.
