Virtual Rotators tab
Because the antenna farm contains several antennas with directional pattern but fixed direction for a particular
band (the four squares in this example), these antennas can be connected with a Virtual Rotator which makes
them into a single rotary beam that can be controlled manually or by logger.
In this example, each 4SQ has been defined as separate Virtual Rotator and because the receiving 4SQ
antennas were previously marked RX Only, the RX4QS virtual rotator was automatically set as RX only. .
The antennas making up each virtual rotator are added one by one and their operating azimuth adjusted based
on their location, directional pattern and known performance. The NW azimuth for the 80m 4SQ has been
extended slightly (260 – 0 deg) to cover Caribbean and Central America with a single NW beam from central
EU.
