Hello,
Thanks for the heads up- I did do an FF6 antenna before,
one with curved reflector,
the problem I dont like about it, is the V wires are too bendy and hard to get at exact angles, esp. once you knock them, they bend again...
With the 1 inch tubing I will use for the fat dipole, I wont have this problem.
Also,
The focus on the FF6 style antennas is much more focussed and narrow than the fat dipole.
Also,
I dont see the gain being much different? Seems like the same, only a more difficult build with the bendy wires, and some loss of broad angled reception...
But both are good.
I also have a lot of 1 inch tubing, so why not?
