- If anyone would like to discuss other forms of broadband antennas and ways to build or model them please join in. I believe, although I'm not 100% sure, that discussions of all forms of antennas are

- Rick Interesting alternative. I have a question about the concept. As I understand it, the "cage" concept needs for the wires to be close enough to act as one *large* conductor. How close fits this c

- The "cage" is pretty much a regular dipole with a large length to diameter (l/d) ratio as given in the hand book. It's also a very old design and can be found in early literature. It "to me" is an en

- If anyone wants my antenna model files of a 4 wire cage and a pair of dipoles let me know. Use k2xt@arrl.net to request, since this will come to my main email account. My models were written for 4NEC

- Thanks, RogerNow you have me headed for the books. (Earlier than I'd expected to) Bill-W4BSG PS did you mean"small l/d ", not "large" ? _______________________________________________ _______________

- The ARRL antenna book shows a 2:1 SWR bandwidth of less than 300 KHz for an 80m cage dipole with a 6 inch spreader diameter. DX Blaster claims 400 KHz bandwidth for their 80m cage dipole. I am not su

- If measured at the transmitter, losses in the feedline will significantly reduce the apparent SWR (and increase the apparent SWR bandwidth). I use the word "apparent" because the SWR at the antenna d

- W4HV informed me that DX Blaster 80m cage dipole uses 1 meter spreaders. These spreaders are much larger than the cage dipole example in the ARRL Antenna book so the 400 KHz bandwidth claim is very p

- I don't think the bandwidth he claims is in question. It's the gain claims. An earlier visit to his site showed spreaders for sale. They are not there now. I wonder why, and if they would sell some,
