    10m Dipole at various heights plots

    I mean yeah sorta. I was wanting to see the various charts at say 5,10,15,20,25. Just wanting to see the pattern changes as it rises above the ground. What I’m long for is how the horz dipole preforms as an Omni at low heights and the gain directions.

    How to broadband a 5/8 wave

    Dipole has almost a 3mhz. I’ve just been thinking. Playing around. I stepped away for a while and now I want to go back to playing around. Astro still working fine. Just wanting more. I could take the matching coil off and just add a remote tuner at the base. But that’s way up there. And I’m way...

    How to broadband a 5/8 wave

    Sirio tornado 5/8. It has an external coil. If I wanted to broadband it to have a wider freq range what could I do? Longer coil? Fatter surface area coil? Need ideas

    It’s just an antenna

    I’ve spent lots of time effort and money playing with stupid antennas. Taking down free ones and rebuilding them or picking up new ones. It don’t matter from what I see. A stick is just a stick. But let me explain. End fed verticals. Straight up in the air sticks of aluminum is what I’m...

    Diamond shaped antenna identification

    I saw a hf antenna and can’t remember the name. It’s kind of a vertical diamond shaped loop that has a coil in the center of the diamond. The diamond looked like it was built out of a 3” wide thin metal.

    Hamgeek hg605w simplex repeater

    Update. It’s not a simplex repeater. It is a duplex. Don’t know how well it’ll work yet but we’ll see when it cools down a bit. I did get some info for the manufacturer and it had the settings on their site. It never seemed to repeat and I figured it was broken china crap. On a gamble I pulled...
