Hello Shockwave,
Well, if you allready have said it your 4 wire approach was wrong.
What would it all be so "hot" for you to mention ?
What difference does it make ? And indeed i was under the impression it was about your picture not mine, if i missed the context i am sorry.
But then there is...
(click to enlarge)
@ DB,
Does the above sound (looks) logical ?
The far field pattern you are optimising now is made up due to the antenna and the ground around the antenna upto say about 10..20 wavelengths...
After that it goes "up" in the sky..
Look at it as "rugby"...
Your the last guy...
Donald:
Oke, take a look at how i see things:
1) My first question is did you read where I specifically mentioned at the time I shared the photo that is was only for our private use and not to be published anywhere? That would be on page 12 of the private conversation involving the four of us...
Donald,
Im not happy the way you are going towards me in the discussion.
In my mind im having difficulties to escape the thought of why you would:
Start accusing me of something
Speak bad of my work done
Wont share information. (or hesitate as you mention..but i still havnt seen anything)...
Hello All,
I have added a film of the SURFACE currents on the SIGMA IV page.
http://cb-antennas.com/?page_id=965
(blue bottom line "surface currents)
Its uploaded in dropbox and will open in a new window.
will that help marconi ?
Please see the surface currents are displayed with arrows...
What question eddie ?
Sorry not irritating meant...but not sure what u r asking...
And allready in bed from cellphone isnt helping either..
Good nigth all...
@HomerBB :
I see what you're saying about the employees of the radio stations, but I am unwilling to lump Donald into a bunch like bananas.
That makes two of us !
It was because of my faith in Donald that i did this.
I still have faith in him, and I believe him...i believe he did his up most...
Guys...wouldnt that be logical ? reflected wave in phase ?
The "snooker" effect remember ?
But you do not want more gain in a take off anlge...
What you guys forget each time....this is not helping for those CB users who use the antenna to talk with locals...
It does not help to increase the...
Hello Homer,
Arguments are not a problem, but i like to keep things real.
Saying there are 1400 uses who have experienced otherwise....that makes me wonder ?
As mentioned before, the power the Dominator can handle...is max 3Kw.
It is my guess we can count say 90 + percent as relative small...
Owh almost forgot...
Here is online about how to construct a well made J pole..
http://cb-antennas.com/?page_id=399
please notice the difference is setting with matching to SWR versus frequency.
Now, in donald his Dominator version the "feedpoint" has a fixed location
(at the bottom) logical...
The doubters seem to say that theory (or models) don't support this and refuse to accept a challenge to attempt to repeat this phenomenon, but instead are demanding the empiricist (those with experience in something) deny their practical real world experience is favor of theoretical arguments...
@ Homer,
So, do I understand this answer says the antenna is NOT a J-Pole, but something else? Possibly because something unique may be going on with the cone section not explored in the discussion about Henry's article?
No,
You may look at it as you want.
The "thing" is one has to be precise...
While Henry's test antenna was constructed without a gamma match, that certainly will not help the performance of the antenna in the field.
Donald you have seen one test antenna in the beginning from that you draw a inaccurate conclusion that it is the only one.
Your claim that a gamma match...
The most important thing to remember is the proof is in the pudding, NOT the paperwork. I almost want to gag every time I hear a comment that suggests the models are the "proof" and the results from 15 years of professional broadcast use are simply "hearsay". Not even one of over 1500 clients...
Donald,
Please allow me to respond a bit later, its "kids" time now..
In the meanwhile, could you be so kind and share those results of clear channel?
That maybe done in private of course. I have never been offered those before, so obvious interested.
Thank you...
About diner time :-)
Kind...
Homer,
Thank you for your info, it is valued...!!! thumbs up !!
As writing something yourself, sometimes things seems logical where from another point of view it is not.
..just got home...wife at work need to pic up the kids etc..bit bussy hihi.
1 - is done allready..ill post some pics later...
@ DB
There are "options" however Im not sure if 4nec2 handles them in a way you are asking.
I know the "pro" enzec version does.
But it could very well be the 4Nec2 version handles the different "waves" seperatly.
Ill ask Arie, if he remembers how it is implicated. And come back to you on PM.
@...
@ Donald :
The problem is its physical length becomes short enough that it can no longer confine all of the out of phase field within the cone.
Oke, I think i have explain the CST plot pritty wel, what is it you do not understand ?
Lets do it otherwise...proof me wrong :)
Provide for example a...
Owh guys...so much lines...
Donald did you read my reply ?
There is no debate whether or not downward tilting is useful in some cases.
But that would not be for CB.
It is used for example in FM broadcast where the antenna in a situated on a very high mast (or cellphone communication) or...
Guys, with all due respect....
Could you remain to the Sigma 4 Im allread having difficutlies catching up two pages of info after a couple hrs sleep. :)
Im going to miss questions, and then ill be reading...he never answered....hihi.
Kind regards,
