At the risk of being fatally flamed I want to add a couple cents worth to the B & W Antenna issue. I had read the same info for many years about the ineffectiveness of the B & W antenna. This past sp
W4RNL has done his usual excellent job modeling and studying the "wideband folded dipole" (e.g., "the B&W Antenna"). See his web page at: http://www.cebik.com/wire/wbfd.html. The quick take away from
I recently read that, Joe. L.B. confirmed my assumptions, but it's nice to see a somewhat rigorous treatment. Do you know if the SGC broadband dipole is basically the same design? Larry N8LP www.tele
Larry, Looking at the (sparse) information available on the SGC web site. it looks like the SGC-103 and SCG-104 are classic "wideband folded dipoles." The length is given as 90 feet (27 meters) and f
I think we need to distinguish between this antenna and the SGC broadband whip is actually two whips in one (conceptually its two helically loaded antennas on the same form, with different winding pi
I spent a while trying to figure out a set of lengths for a multiband dipole (think in terms of the DX-CC from Alpha Delta) that would cover all the SHARES frequencies (which are fairly close to the
