More on the Crossed-Field Antenna is available at http://www.antennex.com/ .
To get the full scoop you have to subscribe (that makes me a little
suspicious right off the bat!), but they have construction plans for one on
75/80 meters. It is true that the National Association of Broadcasters has
been convinced enough publish information about the antenna in it's weekly
"Tech Check" fax sent to all NAB member stations. The symposium next week
(4/18)
in Las Vegas should be interesting. Although I won't be there (ironically,
I'll be in
LV, but celebrating my b-day with my wife...but no shop-talk allowed!), many
of
my colleagues will, so I'll try to get some details and pass them along.
Some study on the subject is being done by Ben Dawson, P.E. who is a
well-respected consulting engineer in the broadcast industry. It will be
interesting to hear his conclusions.
