I have a question.
After looking at Little erma and ed's kit; I was wondering if it would be better to have multiple small sized units with their own outputs summed together or if it's just better to have a larger sized unit.
Here's my thought.
Since I can't put up large units in my yard I was thinking about building several smaller units and stack a few them on a single pole.
Staying with the 2:1 rule I can build a couple units test them out and use a single central mount as they are completed.
I know that makes things more compilcated but...
Or is it just that much better to build a single unit.
I haven't yet gotten any of those N38 mags that seem to be the best for output, but I do have about a hundred of the cermaic ones N5s I think.
I have done any calcs yet on wire size or anything, just trying to get some ideas for ways to have a bunch of these things out catching the wind.
One more question:
Is it an absoulte that round buckets need to be used? I don't have any, but do have rectangle ones, (We have cats) so the buckets are a side benifit.
I can make use of the rectangle ones to make something similar to ed's
Thanks for any help;
