Hi Bill, I sure agree with Earl, Don and Herb.....but I would stay away from Quarterwave radials. It's almost impossible to get more than one of them to carry any significant current. Try four eightw
Referring to the K5IU paper on unequal currents in elevated radials, I was surprised and intrigued when Tom, W8JI, commented that: Reviewing the material, it seems to have a great deal of merit, base
Hi Les & Others, As my name and call have been dragged thru this thread several times, I feel like I'm a part of it. I'd like to comment. The main topic seems to be effectiveness or loss especially r
Well, if that were the case, how is it that the voltage rises so much from the bottom of the loading coil to the top? If the current is the same, that would mean that power is being created in the co
Hello again antenna fans out there in radio land! In our last episode, our hero was set upon by his nemesis, that dastardly villain from the deep......sorry, just kidding, it's not like that at all.
I think you have a syntax problem in that sentence, but I recognize the formula. You said further: I think you have that right. Sounds correct to me, but what's your point? If you are alluding to mea
Well Mike, Any 20" long coil that we used would have already been closewound and would have been for 160 or 75 if it had bigger wire. So to change it to a 5" long coil with the same inductance, we wo
