precisely because there is enough stuff up there to absorb a lot of the RF, although not all of it is wood. I don't think shingles are all that transparent to RF, for example, especially when wet. A

Eddy, My answer to question #1 is that the wood in a building is usually dry. Dry lumber has much lower losses than wet lumber. Additionally, it only has to go through 3/4" to 6" of wood to get out a

Where did I say they won't work? I said exactly the opposite. They "work" even if they may be lossy simply because 1 or 2 S-units (or whatever the penalty may be) is still not that severe when compar

I do agree about the trees unless the tree(s) are really close to the vertical. This is only one operator from two stations over 50 years which makes this pretty much anecdotal but for what it's wort

would be smart to built an antenna inside of a steel structure when it would be better all the way around to put it in the clear. Why would you ever do that? --I guess you'd do it because, using the

Eddy and others I am a little unconvinced by some of the arguments that have been presented. Consider a Yagi in free space with nice copper elements. It would work quite well if one could find a way

I think I get it now... 1) If the element is very low resistance, the RF will induce a lot of current, but it will get re-radiated. 2) If the element is medium low resistance, the RF will induce a fa

You're describing the difference between the near field (wooden element in Yagi) and far field (propagating through a box). One would normally use a somewhat different analytical technique for the tw

Precisely right.... And that's really why soil properties are important. Really dry sand doesn't have much effect on radiation efficiency(it's your #3).. The proverbial salt marsh also doesn't (it's

An element that is totally non-conductive introduces no losses because, as you say, no currents are introduced. An element that is perfectly conductive introduces no losses, but it does re-radiate an

What is there not to be unconvinced about? In that case, being conductive with presumably little loss, the vertical antenna if driven simply radiates RF ... or if not driven receives induced currents

That doesn't make sense. The ultimate lossy element is one that is conductive enough to accept power and resistive enough to dissipate it as heat. A totally non-conductive material is the ultimate no

Eddy, currents would remain on the INSIDE of the structure only and never escape the box. Look up "Faraday shield" if you don't believe me. If the steel structure was not fully enclosed you would, de
