now ...... round 2 ..... what happens when we take those ground elements , but , steeply slope them upwards , add a 1/4 wave length loop to the top of those elements symmetrically spacing them around the vertical , and extend our vertical radiator length almost 3/4 wavelength ?
basically any vertical with ground elements . all else being equal , assume using 4 quarter wave length ground elements below the feedpoint on the same vertical , height and location , the only difference being the ground elements being parallel to the ground or sloped down at 35-55 degrees ...
is there any empirical evidence (other than billy bob walking around the yard with a RF meter) that suggest either has any benefit over the other on 10-11 meters ?
if you can find a used working 2018 xtreme they were awesome ! has a NC option for mobile (or base) and a great adjustable echo and double talk feature , as well as adjustable tall back . great full tonal quality also , but some like the peircing trebly sound that they believe cuts through...
having options is cool . but , for the splitting hair club , different metals brings up electrolysis on antennas . nothing that can't be worked around but it can be a problem without precautions .
solder points seem to become the weak point of antennas that use them . never had a short on a home brew antenna using compression , but nothing last forever .
been looking at a wood marauder gen 2 .25 for my first PCP . very effective on hogs and those green mountain barrels are supposed to be pretty nice . they're also extremely MOD friendly with tons of after market parts . i love to tinker :)
since this in in the CB section and rarely does any CB'er use exotic antenna designs that need particular feedline lengths ...... it really doesn't matter . you're only tuned perfectly to one frequency to start with . focus on having a antenna SYSTEM with usable bandwidth for the radio you have...
i have a RWS Diana 34 and a very highly modified crosman 13xx pumper . great plinkers/shooters and they have both put meat on tables for decades . cheap/quiet ammo also . any other fans here ?
the christian bible is full of evil also . read exodus chapter 21 (moses still talking after giving the 10 commandments) giving instructions on owning slaves and how to brutalize them .or how about commanding the butchering of children and even cutting then from their mothers womb just to...
