[TowerTalk] Fan Dipole

[Don W7WLL]

Tnx for sharing that Dan, interesting reading. I even liked the bit about 
the BC-610 (my first HP amp in '62, could wipe out every TV and hifi within 
a couple of blocks I think). An I used the AN/GRC-9 when in uniform, long 
long time ago.

But the best part was the explanation given for the center connection 
separation. In my case I do not have one under the other. The 40 runs off at 
different angles from the 80 so not sure how much 'wind' movement would play 
on its general operation. I had planned on the 160 also off at another 
angle, essentially, looking down from the top the 6 wires would be almost 
equidistant from each other.

Guess I've never know till I finish it and put some juice to it.  As to the 
comment from another on being a poor 160 antenna I agree, but better than 
nothing which is where I am at the moment.

Again tnx to all for the inputs and ideas.

I believe the research that Chuck mentioned was done by the Stanford 
Research Institute under contract to the US Army.  If so, available here:

That's one of many references listed at the bottom of an AutoEZ example on 
modeling fan dipoles and OCF dipoles:
