Moxon was/is my antenna god. In his "HF Antennas For All Locations" by RSGB, p.140, Fig 10.15: "Uselessness of vertical polarization for the exploitation of steep ground slopes. Image is tilted back
This is really critical to me. For 20 plus years I've had one of the AB-577 and now the AB-621 towers that Ontario Surplus used to sell at Hamvention. I think they are not available anymore. I instal
Brian always does great work, but what the heck is this? "sell buy software Brian Beezley ao" Playing a bit with the new version of Coil while working on a new ferrite loopstick antenna. Thanks Brian
We've seen talks of measuring soil conductivity on this and the LF lists. There is a guy in my church who does a lot of mission work in Africa and runs a small ag mfg business. Also a company buildin
I'll check next Sunday with the missionary guy. He's the moderator or our church and has been there many times. Soil conductivity is related to amount of sand, silt, and clay as well a bit of mineral
Probably minimal spacing from the wood rafters. Enough for safety, I guess. You might put some clamp-on ferrites on any house wiring There might be some magic spacing pattern to be most effective. I
Since I can't keep my 4 el SteppIR together on a 400 ft hill with a 28-degree slope (updraft), I'm going to a strengthened 3 element. I know the difference between 9 dB or zero dB! N0UU _____________
I'm not an antenna expert but been around reading for a long time. We have good software for horizontal polarization antennas over sloping ground. My SteppIR is at the edge of a 35 degree slope of
Wow! All of the great writers of antenna software "woke" up. Thanks for all of your work guys. At age 85 I'm not building a contest station, but trying to optimize for fun. Maybe 6 years ago I
