Anyone running dual hots at 86in spacing?.. If so what antennas are you running and how did they tune?

Thanks

Ok.. i have my setup for 2 hots and 86 in spacing.. wondering what antenna's people are running.. and some details like shaft lenth..ect. No names and 55's ..haha..i know.

from what i understand the required spacing should be 6ft for it to work.???

I use to run 2 hots at 86"...Used Predator 10K's with 17" lower shafts...Coolbreeze helped me out with the coax lengths..."This is the Importaint part!" different lengths coax determines your signal pattern...

Ran that for a while, then just went to a bounce-back set-up, and couldn't tell much difference. Right now I'm just running one antenna, but can switch back to bounce-back at anytime.

6 foot for 2 hots is one of those wifes tales that is a buch of bull shit.

If you get two hots set up right, I said IF a bounce back will still do a tad better. even the "books" say that.
my bounce back set up does not have a tight RX pattern like alot of 2 hot guys say. it can also be tunes in under 20 min. 2 hots takes much longer when dealing with coax lengths

Ok .. maybe some input from the guru's PLEASE..?? im running rfs 1/2 superflex hardline with a velocity factor of .81 @ 27mhz so i used the coax calcultor here.. I have now 12.77 ft of coax. So its somewhere between the 1/2 wave 1/4 wave. Am i in trouble here? Im kind of in-between more to the 1/2 wave lenth.

For coax with Vf = .81, 1/2 wavelength = 4.5 m, 450 cm, 14.76 ft & 177.17 in

For coax with Vf = .81, 1/4 wavelength = 2.25 m, 225 cm, 7.38 ft & 88.58 in

Im ok with spending some time tuning.. i will have to do it on 2 diff sets of antennas though.. Just not sure which antennas.. i like noizy's but hes super busy and i wanna get out there and key.. maybe FB 55 copies. Hv has a set of Star gunns to try.. first round with them they wouldnt tune... tried them on a bounce back sys and they wouldnt tune there either... he has longer stingers this next round.
For giggles i threw my FB R4 front puck hooked up the mfj and was shocked 1.2 swr r 40 x3 never touched it.. from my honda to the front puck.. go figure.

i thought you are running 2 8 foot pieces .

Your right HV ..1 pc from front puck to rear puck 2nd pc rear puck to connector end. I need to re measure the rear puck lenth to connector. I know i had to get around 1 brace in the roof so its not exactly 8ft front.. The rear section may be shorter then 8 ft.. tomorrow im going to get a measurement.

Thanks CBRN38 for being helpful!!

I love it when someone says "its doomed" I wasnt born with the dual hot setup data in my head..so questions and mistakes will occur... BUT like anything else in my life when they said i couldnt do it... IT GOT DONE IN A BIG WAY"!!
So maybe you deal with chumps who howdy doody stuff.. .. so do me a favor ..keep the erncouragement coming.. it motivates me!!.. Soon the 2112 burban WILL be in DX land!

Dam chumps!!

you got good analyzer reading. whats the gain? whats the directivity? what phsing did you end up with.

btw dmax if I was going to ride you about 2 hots. it wouldnt be friendly replies to your post. you asked i answered.

Im loving this dual hot setup.. using my small amp dx all weekend long.. tons of skip contacts.. Reflect is nice and low.. about 3-5w ..Also is a bit directional out the front... i have best of both worlds.
So all the bullshit is just that bullshit..it works and works very well out in the world of skip.
Big FU to the doubters and the "project is doomed dinks"!

I can get out with my one antenna mobile and be directional out the front with the antenna mounted in the back.
I can also lock up skip if mother nature lets me.

Your FU post is lame and a waste of everyones time. a coat hanger can be made to work also.

the best thing is you still have no idea the gain and pattern do you?

You have now entered the relm of bandcamping. there is no turning back

I only know by field strenth my strong an weak areas.. no i dont know what the gain is.. at this point i dont care!.. Im having a blast with it And THERES NOTHNG YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. and thats all i care about.
You can try to baffle me with your double bullshit.

1- i dont care about your time

2- I love my setup and how its working

3- I could care less about your opinion.

4- Your the King of the "legend in his own mind Syndrome".

5- Theres I REPEAT "NOT A DAM THING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT


Enjoy talking to yourself..its like listening to "charlie browns" mom... wah wah blah blah.

ROFLMFAO Tool Max has lost it. Are you having a booty monster moment?
1. no one asked of you did
2. you will untill i cut your radio off with 1/2 the power
3. you shouldnt have asked, where is that pm, was it on facebook maybe.
4. I am a legend, no one can irritate more people by stating fact then I. or even just by saying hello.
and on top of that I got the evidence to prove it. you are number 12548.
5. your right, there is nothing i can do about your stupidity, two faced ( see statement 3), you are a mud duck, or the fact that your body shape resembles that of a mutilated catfish.

as for charlie brown. WOW you had to ride my coat tails, use ones of my comments to attempt in a very lame fashion to do what? insult me, irritate me? HA good luck with that.
