In reading some of the threads which mention radiation resistance
of an antenna, I gather the following:
Radiation resistance is not the same as feed point resistance.
Average Joe Ham has no way to measure radiation resistance of an
antenna, and even professionals can only measure antennas of
small size. Is this correct? If not, how can I measure the radiation
resistance of my TH-7?
What is the proceedure for measuring the radiation resistance of an
antenna, step by step for us dummies?
It seems that if I know the radiation resistance of the antenna, I
can calculate the efficiency--Yes?
