Hi,
I get very good reception from a local forward transmitter.
I would like to sacrifice some of this gain in order to increase the gain from the rear.
Is there a quick way of masking (not permanent removal) a few of the directors so that the gain from the rear will be increased.
The aerial has about nine directors, a dipole (encased in plastic), and a four pole reflector system, The reflectors can be slid out with effort. When I moved them down to expose more of the dipole (upper portion), it made no difference to the reception.
Before anyone asks. No, the aerial cannot be moved; and Yes, I have considered establishing a second aerial.
Thanks
