Here a few of the better links I've collected since I started researching and designing. Hopefully they will be helpful to some others.
I'm putting these here because I'm going to assume most of the ham guys have already found the information, know the information or think the know the...
there's a little bit of hype and then there's misrepresenting the ability of a product. Do you think it's okay to claim that an antenna that act's like a 1/4 wave should be labeled to behave like a 5/8 wave antenna? Let me phrase that differently, would it be okay in Real Estate call a single...
Listen carefully - I'm incredibly qualified to answer this question for several reasons.
1. I'm an avid antenna designer, I know my stuff - basically speaking of course.
B. Most importantly I live in Phoenix and have been to the Firestick factory several times and have spent hours talking...
needle I'd start by uninstalling all but one anti-virus.
most don't play well together - I get trying to vigilant with security but you'll create a lot of headaches running systems that may see each other as "intruders".
Once you've got yourself pared down to a single AV find CCleaner on the...
it will work... these antennas are designed with just enough loss to tune across a wide range of marginal mounting applications. so do it if you want to experiment, but you're not going to see a noticeable difference in performance.
quick update...
I read through the manual and help file again but just couldn't get it nailed down. sent a "help" email to Roy Lewallen and got a quick and concise answer that actually made sense.
Just FYI, if you're modeling antenna in Excel and exporting out in ASCII for use in EZNEC...
it's good for its intended target (big rigs). you won't have any problems with it and it will handle a decent amount of power if you go that route but I don't think I would actually push 2000 watts through it for any length of time.
if you are just running the radio or a small amp, something...
I've seen pics and video of Sha's van... looked like some kind of stacked yagi. I think he's been out of the circuit for a while and I think pretty much everyone has settled in on the single array of vertical elements. There is some serious work going on with some of those antenna setups - they...
I'm sure this is a lot easier than I'm making it but I'll be darned if I can figure it out. I'm working on a large scale modeling project and need to import a lot of individual files into EZNEC for initial bench-marking and then validation later on.
Every time I import a set developed in...
