Hi all !
Eh.. like a open sleeve antenna ?
Alwasy fascinating to see people willing to investigate the deeper "why".
Just to be on the positive critical side..
Im aware you already asked roy if he could think of a way to model a EH antenna.
But have you also verified if he thinks your present model is accurate ?
Beeing a fanatic "modeler" your self, you are aware that there are limitations.
What worrie me a bit is that i interpertate the eznec results as proof (gain/take off angle etc) I do think it was intended that way.
But on the other hand eznec told you a different story regarding the SWR.
So for me, that makes the first part rather unstable.
And yes we all know: it is possible to work brazil with a mobiel antenna. Infact i worked New Zealand (otherside of the globe for me) via L.P on a wilson last week..so, that doesnt count.
With that said...Im not saying the antenna doesnt do what the provided plots tells us.
Except for the bandwidth (which so far, i dont understand either)
All the figures are a sure "can be".
Ah thats another thing..normally extra large SWR bandwidth isnt a really good thing, as you know..
So it would be great if we have a "additional" antenna along with the other "wide band" options !
To bad it is so bussy...perhaps with the christmas days i migth be able to measure the gain or try to find out what
nec4 (closed spaced wires) or CST says about it.
anyway...I am thinking of constructing one..so ill keep a eye on the thread.
Kind regards,
Keep up the good work guys..
