If you gentle readers would bear with me while I take an excursion into some antenna type questions.... Specifically, the Isotron Antenna. Being a skeptic, this antenna sounds too good to be true.. S
If I had that kind of 'room', I would seriously consider a nice folded dipole. It would fit nicely and give you excellent coverage! Not to mention, a folded dipole is fairly easy to construct! A fun
Hi Tony... Can't speak to your figures, but.....I was always taught that 500 watts from my amplifier, not addressing any gain factors in my antenna, will result in a 3 db gain on the other end of the
