While going through my low band antenna notes covering the last 40 years or so, I came across a few contradicting pieces of data. Trying to resolve the issues with computer modeling exercises only re

It seemed like a good idea at the time! There was no real "hat", just a 12 foot "stinger". I did get a bit better bandwidth, but not enough to make the exorcise worth the effort. 73, Larry

As I said, Mauri, my experience and modeling efforts agree with your assessment. I think I need to define "short". Some folks seem to think a short vertical is a couple feet less than a quarter wave.

Very true. That's why I always base my conclusions on observations made over a span of years. Log entries are a fair filter of "measurement noise" and, after all, isn't the "best" antenna the one tha

Here's the second part of my "quest for the truth"! While trying to validate performance test results with computer models, I find more conflicts with the effect of inductor Q on overall performance.

Ford, The caps were indeed chosen to provide some small measure of roll-off at the low end. The first values used in the original version were 0.1 uF. That original low-bias version IMD performance w

Herb, I've never tried this because in every instance where I needed a "hat", I have been limited to only two drooping wires. Is this data from computer modeling or actual measurement? Is the 30 perc

Mario and Tom raise interesting points. When I changed out the old TH6 for a nice shiny C31XR I worried about the insulated elements. I asked Force 12 about it. I was told there has been only one rep

Interesting. I wonder how it calculates the zone. If I can believe the satellite data at all, the auroral zone is usually oval shape and frequently irregular at that. Also, seldom centered on the pol

In the 38 years or so I've been on 160, I could count on the fingers of one hand the number of times a small loop has been better (on DX) than any other antenna, including the TX antenna. That is unt

I'd like to point out that while Flags, Pennants, Deltas, etc, do have a high angle response, it is an order of magnitude or so less than the small loop. It was quite easy to observe this over the la
