Hello everyone,
I made a few comments about inverted V antennas. I joined into the
conversation because the subject of polarization of an Inverted V came up
during the power coupling issue. I have had several e-mails asking if I
liked Inverted V antennas. The answer is that as a transmit antenna "I
think" the "V" I described would be mediocre at best and as a receive
antenna, it could make even the best receiver sound bad.
A question came up about the ground specifications I gave for Tucson, Az.
The answer is YES, they were correct. They were acquired from the U of A
here in Tucson. Tucson is ringed by copper mines. There is a large amount
of alluvial copper deposits in the soil here. The worlds largest open pit
copper mine is just south of me.
