I failed to mention that I am wanting to try an Astroplane (NTO) myself. There was a gentleman here in Waco that always had a great signal with one of the Avanti originals. I know where one is, but it is unlikely that I will be able to acquire it. I have a couple of Sirio Gainmasters, so I am...

Robb, You are correct about the Starduster. Many people believe that the Starduster is a 1/4 wave, but it is in fact more akin to a 1/2 wave center-fed dipole as opposed to a 1/4 wave ground plane with 90 degree radials. The Antenna Specialists vintage brochure actually labels it as a 1/2 wave...

Malicious Interference/Jamming on 38 LSB The Prozac Kid, Funky Monkey, Dr. Death (CH 19) are all one in the same. The culprit is N4TAT in Warner Robins, GA. He associates himself with some of the worst of the worst, from 14.313 on the 20 meter ham band. Good luck with any effort made to...

Rob, The publications by Lou Franklin are good. I am a retired Navy veteran and can personally vouch for the excellent Navy electronics program, to include the NEETS series which is a great way to learn or refresh your knowledge of electricity and electronics. There are several places on...

I would operate these antennas separately using a good coaxial switch and a second tuner if you can afford one. That would likely provide a more predictable radiation pattern for the chosen band of operation. It would certainly solve your testing problem... 73, Dave

As a result of the slower velocity of the electromagnetic wavefront through and along the surface of the insulated wire as opposed to that of bare copper. (velocity factor) 73, Dave
