    Poor results w/ CL and SPW pair

    I just finished testing my Cloverleaf and SPW build and the results are just slightly better than the stock whips. These are for a 910 Mhz system. Can you see anything wrong from the pics?

    Thanks,

    Dave

    They are oppositely polarized. The Cloverleaf is right hand and that SPW looks left handed to me. Also the angles look too shallow.

    Yeah I broke it. But I have Duck tape so its ok.

    OK. I rebuilt the SPW in with the proper polarization and did a test (too dark to fly). I put the transmitter w/ CL in my metal barn right next to a small metal shed I'm building. The signal had to go through the barn, house and into my concrete block garage to the Vrx with SPW about 200 feet away. Aside from a small bit of pulsing interference, the reception was quite good. I'll do a proper test tomorrow.
