This correctly considers the options available to each of us afforded by
the details of our own real estate, whether a sprawling forest or
meadow, or a suburban or urban lot. I had an urban lot, now I have a
sprawling forest, and I've assisted several local hams in assessing
their options and fitting practical antennas into them.
THAT'S what good engineering is all about! It's not about esoteric
details of theoretical concepts, but rather applying fundamentals to our
own individual problems and resources. What skyhooks are available, and
how might we use them? Where might I locate RX antennas, and which types
of RX antennas work well in those surroundings? (See W3LPL's excellent
talks on this).
