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...

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...

This might be mis-catagorized - it's more of a company question. Has any one ever dealt with Nittany-Scientific? I've been trying for over a week to buy the NEC-Win Synth product and am getting no-where. I can't believe in this day and age it's this tough to get a peice of software... Monday...

Every commercially built antenna I've had on the suburban typically gives me "x" between 6 and 11, with "r" somewhere between 45 and 55 and SWR of 1.1 to 1.3. In the process of winding up my first homebrew antenna this weekend for the mobile, and after a little too much adjustment (= cutting...

I know there is a significant db loss when polarization between two antennas is different. When polarization is the same (in this case vertical) but the angle of radiation is different, is there any loss, more specifically in a DX situation? (1/4 wave vs 1/2 wave). Thanks...

Both my Wilson 5000 and my Aluminum Fighting Stick show very low SWR and 50 ohms on my truck... I also have a 7ft Skipshooter that shows 1.2 SWR on 20 with 1.3 on 1 and 40 but it's showing a 43 ohm load on the analyzer... This antenna has a little more forward gain (top loaded) than the...

I've read through a bunch of the posts on the site that remotely compare the AB vs C bias amps... Typically when someone mentions that ab is "cleaner" someone replies, "yes but not neccesarily... garbage in garbage out". So lets take this scenario... - Stock Uniden/Cobra CB (11 meter only...

Has anyone ever, actually used a Texas Star 1600 on ten meter in a mobile application? Or is that just a joke to even consider it? Thinking about getting my ticket and just juggeling the possibilies with some of the equipment I have laying around.
