- Hi I was reading the posts concerning the Zeppelin antenna. I did a search on the web and got some picture drawings showing what I am familiar with. Also someone said it was a trailing wire antenna,

- In review of the ARRL Handbook, Ed. 2014, Chapter 21.7, there are clearly two distinct examples of Zepp antennas. One being 1/2 wavelength and end fed with open wire line and the 2nd being a center f

- The latest QST has an interesting EDZ beam. It has a discontinuous reflector, actually two reflectors, one for each half. William Alsup, N6XMW, modeled it with EZNEC. The model predicts 6 dBd. That i

- Bob, I want to modify slightly: 468/f gives us the APPROXIMATE resonant length. NEVER CUT FOR THIS LENGTH. Always cut a little longer, fold back the ends to adjust to this calculated length - then me

- Yes Rick. There are a couple of factors not clearly stated. In using the 468 number it does account for K factor which is the ratio of conductor diameter to wavelength. However, the 468 does also pre

- BOB, we were in sync until your last paragraph! You said, move it up or down until you get lowest SWR. If you meant for the purpose of a scientific experiment, OK. Otherwise, the height should be cho

- Any center fed straight wire is a dipole, regardless of how it's length compares the the wavelength you are using it on. If I build a dipole to be a half wavelength on 7 MHz, and then use it on 10.1

- By that definition, since they used the word "approximating" the length could vary over a very wide range, and still fit the definition. When you make a dipole very short the radiation pattern does n
