Dan, Bill, Guy Thanks for your input... It looks like the project may be too big in time and cost if NEC4 license is required. I will have to think further before committing. Thanks again. 73, Dave,
I have a very small back garden so I am limited in the width of antenna I can erect. I want to try and do better than a minibeam. I am currently using a Cobwebb antenna which is a set of 5 nested dip
Yes, I know traps are a compromise and some people don't like them, but my feeling is that it is often the design and construction that are the main problems. I plan to build one for 15m (for a 15m/2
Most of my modelling has been with wire antennas but now I am modelling some verticals with elements having diameters of between 38mm and 25mm for 20m and 40m (and using drooping elevated radials mad
Hi Guy, Thanks for quick reply, If I just start with the 20m vertical. It is 38mm tubing with the base 10m off the ground, the source is in the first (bottom) segment. Then there are two tuned 1/4
Hi Guy, Thanks for the detailed information. I don't know how to say this any different way, that the base of the vertical element (38mm tube) is 10m above ground. The top 1.5m of the support mast
I am using Pro/2 v 7.0. I have been through the EZNEC help and the test drive around the track, but the examples are all more complex than I am looking for so I am having trouble getting to the basic
Thanks to Jay and Joe for the Alternate Zo suggestion. It certainly gives the revised SWR curve I was expecting. I would also like to know the new impedance after the transformation, which the SWR g
Jay, Thanks again for the elaboration. I have now got the impedances from the SWR plot. I was just changing the Zo from 50 to 200 and the data was not changing, but clicking on the plot again resul
