Because I want to learn from others that have built and tested plain vanilla 1/4 wave antennas in a variety of different environments, soil conditions, etc. After about 40 years in engineering, I believe that I know how to do R/D. But I don't have access to multiple sites and multiple...

Non Responsive Answers All the tutorials were 100% accurate as it relates to current technology and designs. Unfortunately, none of the replys came close to answering the simple question that I asked (with NO urgency.) I was hoping for some BANDWIDTH measurements from folks that have...

I am involved in an experiment on what appears to be a new type of vertical antenna. I can't tell you what it is at this time What I'm interested in is MEASURED 2.0:1 VSWR bandwidth from 1/4 wave verticals that have enought radials attached to all-but-eliminate ground losses from the data...

DEfinitely re-scheck it. What is not always understood is that the vertical antenna is just half of the antenna system. The other half is the vehicle body. Both halves radiate. You would not expect a dipole antenna to have the same characteristics if you cut (or lengthened) one side...

Coax chokes are OK if you have "a little" CMC. I have a MFJ multi-band vertical and that's what they use. But I prefer the clamp-on ferrite beads to make sure that it's the antenna that does the radiating; not the coax. Besides, my bride doesn't want to hear sideband on the clock radio!

Sigma IV THANK YOU! I followed the links and also admired the nicely made look-alike! Also, Marconi kindly shared his EZNEC model. And THAT sparked an interesting (to us) off-list exchange. His model *appears" to be properly done. (I've made quite a few EZNEC models so have a bit of...

I'm interested in this antenna. But all the online documentation that I can find just shows pictures or photos of the assembled device or various bits and pieces. Can someone please direct me to a sketch or diagram that shows how this antenna is connected? I don't need/want dimensions (though...
