The worse thing anyone ever did to understanding how RF systems work was present SWR as "match efficiency" or "percent reflected power". That is absolutely incorrect Jon, unless you happen to be fee

Tom, After thinking about it, you are correct. Obviously, power reflected from the antenna, will travel back down the line. Unless the source is purely dissipative as you say, some power will then be

I'll certainly agree with that Tom. The quoted statement above is still correct if we modify it to indicate that "In a 2:1 environment, 88.9% of the generated power is the *minimum* power radiated b

Amen to that!! Ever feel a badly designed antenna tuner when the swr goes to zero and the temp of the tuner goes to about 150 degrees? Lotsa loss there. Tom W7WHY List Sponsored by AN Wireless: AN Wi

Anyone know if Force12 has antenna assembly manuals buried somewhere on their website? I have a brand new C19XR and may have misplaced the assembly instructions when moving from 1 land to 6 land. Bob

One of the few things a ham can clone easily is an antenna. Most of us have a pile of aluminum tubing and could easily build a copy of a $2000 antenna design. There is a great deal of engineering exp

The manuals don't help much, anyway. Instructions are vague and the pictures are really pitiful - they look like copies of copies of copies. Hopefully the new owner(s) will use these comments constru

I'd bet that the manuals for many amateur antennas are indeed copies of copies, and a master copy in digital format probably never existed in the first place. In those cases, the manufacturers probab
