Solarcon MAX OPTIMZER The Ultimate 10-11 Meter Base Antenna

[Marconi]

Here is my A99 with and without radials.

The model with radials also shows all currents listed by the number of segments for each wire in the antenna. Here we see the low current distributed I was talking about above.

DB, I agree with you the radial GPK does generate more gain.

I made the antenna with the GPK first and tuned it with a transformer. The A99 does not match this way but I figure they probably works very similar.

I just watched the first video that was mentioned earlier in the thread.

this one:


i found it to be quite informative and i think it would be a good discussion starter if one of our resident antenna experts could watch it and give their notes.
the author of the video specifically requests this as well.

If you go to youtube itself to watch this video, I put in a rather lengthy description of what was happening with the various parts, and how they were working together.
