A Joint PVRC/NCCC Event - Presenter Dean Straw, N6BV, will build on the
introduction to HFTA in the PVRC Webinar on Aug 5, 2009, which was
entitled "HF Antennas DX or Domestic, What's Your Pleasure?"  Attendees
to the Sep 24 Webinar may wish to review the Aug 5 presentation for
background information and perspective. Go to http://www.pvrc.org
<http://www.pvrc.org/>  and click on the "PVRC Webinars" button.
 
Arguably, the most difficult part to using HFTA is obtaining digital
terrain data for the program to manipulate. On Sep 24 Dean will ask for
a volunteer to give the exact location of his/her tower, and then show
how to gather the required terrain-profile data from three on-line
sources. Once he generates the terrain profiles, he will analyze various
antenna configurations using HFTA, discussing a number of practical
"hints and kinks" determined from his experience analyzing lots of QTHs
around the world.
 
Pass the word!
