New dipole I discovered

[mb91w126]

looks like a 1/8 wave 2 meter design.

the end points look like they are well suspended, But I'm not certain how clean the signal is to the feed point.
your thoughts??

[bob85]

that's not a dipole,
it looks more like a slot antenna made from wet string, they usually have a cavity filter at the feedpoint.

 

[C2]

Slot antenna's are usually fed with microstrip feedline.

 

[vkrules]

Whats the take off angle? straight down depending how it's orientated .

 

[w9cll]

Signals will be in and out at the feed point.

 

[6.0 Liter]

Signals will be in and out at the feed point.

Resonance of antenna will also be checked as near feed point as possible.

 

[SuperDave]

My tower can handle that..

your thoughts??
we need more pichers camera man went to sleep after one shot
you call yourselves antenna gurus need shots of the frontal lobes and 2 main directors to properly analyze the pattern produced by this antenna design it does however give a new meaning to standing wave ratio feedpointimpedance and skin effect

72+1 RCB

[Tallman]

Definately a BASE LOADED antenna. Very low take off angle.

 

[26tm696]

wonder what the swr will be

 

[Tallman]

I think the SWR would be dependant on the angle of your dangle.

 

[vkrules]

That could change the angle of my dangle!

 

[wavrider]

VSWR would depend on the angle of the received input!!

This new dipole antenna may just be a great receive antenna or just another dummy load per say.

 

[Sideways]

I had one of those one time. They become pretty broadbanded after time. They cause a lot of static, and can be a bitch to put up with.

 

[Dipole]

I had two of those over the years. Both where high strung and didn't receive worth a Dam. I gave one to a neighbor and a stranger stole the other one + all my gear and the shack. I 'm still laughin at his stupidity he got a real mud duck in a drafty shack with bad plumbing.
