I, too, would like to know what the letters HRS stand for. Tim 12 June 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.184.229.150 (talk) 21:27, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it means "Highly Ridiculous Setup". Joking aside, though, this is an important fact that has been left out of the article. I'll try asking the original writer........ Kelisi (talk) 09:35, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's thoroughly discussed in the article: Horizontal Radiator, Slewable (or Steerable) Altaphon (talk) 03:40, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The CCIR Antenna Diagram Handbook (1984) clearly explains the meaning of HRS as well as additional nomenclature. H means horizontal di-pole(s) without reflector(s), not slewable; R means with reflector(s), not slewable; S means slewable. Therefore HRS means an array of horizontal dipoles with reflectors and slewable. HRS 4/6/0.5/+/-30 means an array of horizontal dipoles with reflector, 4 half-wave dipoles in each horizontal row, 6 rows stacked 1/2 wavelength apart vertically, the lowest row 0.5 wavelength above ground at the lowest operating frequency, and +/-30 degrees slew in azimuth of the main radiation lobe.
