1. Topband: A question on L's (score: 1)

I have a question about this very thing. I'm running an inverted L with the vertical portion going up about 40' or so, and maybe 1000' of radials, mostly cut to about 66' in length each. When I put

Peter, Some of what you are reading is not correct. First, the bandwidth of a perfect Inverted L at reasonable height is twice as wide as a dipole made from the same wire size. This is because the l

Tom, are you saying that the bandwidth is proportional to the diameter/length ratio? Isn't it proportional to the logarithm of the ratio? 73, Sinisa YT1NT, VE3EA _____________________________________

Well, I was saying that. Yes, but now even that doesn't make sense to me. When I make an inverted L or vertical with the same size wire as a dipole, the Inverted L or vertical always seems to have a

The feedline is doing two things to you. First, it is transforming the impedance by virtue of its length. If the line had NO loss, the SWR would remain constant, but the measured values of R and X wi

I think your hypothesis for what you've observed makes sense, at least for radials on/in the ground, whether the effect is log or linear. Think of it this way -- the other half of the antenna (the ra

"Think of it this way -- the other half of the antenna (the radial system) is very broadband, so only the top half (the radiator) contributes to narrowing the bandwidth. " Unfortunately if one models

Pete don't worry so much about the angle if you have clearance from 30 to 45 degrees toward Europe. I would, however, change the configuration of the inverted "L" to a "T" which is a far more efficie

If you had a 1.8 mHz vertical antenna with a ground plane consisting of a quarter wavelength of copper sheet around the base, the loss would probably approximate the loss in one half of a half wavele

The NEC4 model I quoted was for #12 wire (which alas I failed to mention) and was only to demonstrate that the bandwidth issue was not anything inherent about an ideal 1/4 w vertical vs an ideal 1/2
