New Antenna Article on Web
I have done some tests comparing a Pennant antenna and
a "Kaz" antenna. An article on this latest round of
research has been posted at the following URL:
"http://members.aol.com/DXerCapeCod/pennant_v_kaz.htm"; .
This article is a good companion to John Bryant's
recent piece and to my Pennant article published
almost a year ago. These earlier articles are
readily available via hyperlinks. The new article
provides observations in an form easily understood
by non-technical DXers. Sketches of the two antenna
systems are provided for the "backyard experimenter".
Data tables show the gain and directivity measurements
that were taken. The article also provides references /
links for further reading, especially for the more
technically-inclined person.
An appendix to this article is a short write-up done
by Canadian DXer Ken Alexander on his recent tests
with a Pennant antenna.
Feedback on this and previous articles is always
welcomed here at "MarkWA1ION@excite.com" .
