    maco yquad analyzed

    The plots are nice ! Amazing what can be "measured" isnt it ? Perhaps its usefull if in the future you could provide additional data: For example: 1- Is it measured at the feedpoint or coax attached to it ? 2- It migth be interesting to watch the 2;1 swr bandwidth. As often the SWR bandwidth...

    New thread to debate V-4000

    Hello Guys, The quaser has been discussed by G3TXQ. He wrote something int the line of: That a coaxial Q section has more loss than a coil. So, yes...there maybe no coil, and no loss there, however... The Q section which is there to match the antenna will provide more loss. Im missing that...

    President Madison VFO

    Thanks for the reply jazzsinger ! Sadly, you wont find any "real" pictures of an adams VFO on google. The pictures provided are all copied from an add. Or the pictures relate to the standard adams in one way or another. The only "real" proof is a film made by "erik". That adams vfo came from...

    4 - ELEMENT QUAD HELP NEEDED

    Hello Captain Kilowatt, I was not expecting an answer like that from a you as a person or as a staff member. Either you did know ...but in that case an answer like: "owh, yes...almost forgot! Tnx ! Indeed, sometimes most current lies in the prasitic elements like the 1st director. Or you didnt...

    4 - ELEMENT QUAD HELP NEEDED

    Not wanting to irritate you, but as you you mention ...you cant "see" this happening. Well, we have a >50 percent change that is correct...totally agree. But do we know for a fact ? It all depends on the design he is using. I have seen and measured it many times. As stated above wheter or not...

    4 - ELEMENT QUAD HELP NEEDED

    Hello, No guru either....but very enthousiastic :) Take a look at your antenna like this: Example: Your radiator has a "resonant" frequency of 27.0 Mhz now, the directors are shorter...so the individual resonant frequency will be sligthly higher. If we would take the directors away from the...

    Sirio GPE 5/8w and GPS 1/2w antennas..

    Some seem to be "fixed" on length... There seems to be a "magical" 0,625 wavelength or 0,64 I forgot who wins the price. Claims are: that maxes the "best" radiator etc. If anyone thinks they can measure the difference between 0,64 or 0,625 wl in signal strength, i recommend to think again...

    Island Festival weekend

    Hello Guys, Thanks for your enthousiasme, it is indeed lots of fun ! Freq's tend to be between 27.4 and 27.7 mHz, all in USB. However, it is possible to hear some in other modes and away from that freq bandwidth. Wise would probarbly be to lissen on 27,555 (int call freq) and move away...

    How does modelling antennas help us

    Modeling (when done correctly) Is more accurate than 99 percent of the antenna users can measure. Often one will read, well...yes but in real live things are different ! And yes most certainly "things' will effect SWR etc. But if we have modelled two different antennas, wouldnt for...
