Beste mede amateurs,
Ik heb een vertical GPA 3 van Fritzel gekregen en die heeft een aantal
(3) radialen.

There is no GPA 3 afaik, I suppose you mean the GPA 30?

Is er iemand van jullie die ervaring heeft met

a. de GPA 3

I used the during a trip to TF and OY in 2001. It works, but
that's about it. Not too much to expect from this antenna with 3
radials only, but I guess with additional radials it will
perform a lot better.

b. de plaatsing van de radialen

At http://www.swschwedt.de/kunden/dm2ble/dok5-8.htm there are
several diagrams which show the radiation pattern at different
radial angles. Looks like 135 degrees yields the optimum gain.

Hi Fabian,

thanks a lot for your remarks. Stupid from me for writing in Dutch.
Sorry for the others!
