Amateur radio operators have been convinced to display radiation patterns
on logarithmic paper to make it look more directional than normal plotting
procedure.
Since I can now generate a complete circle for an non yagi antenna array
using logarithmic paper on my antenna program I thought it would be
interesting to see
what a circle would look like when using 'standard' graph paper.( a reverse
procedure)
Now, as I write this, I realise that my antenna computor program has the
ability to
make this transition.
This will be interesting as I have no pre-expectations as to what it will
show.
Best regards

I've got to now draw a circle with a compass and observe how the shape
changes when
replotted with logrithmic and other types of graph paper

Be sure to give us a report on creating the logarithmic graph paper.
If I heard someone was looking to replot circles on log graph paper, I
would
say he must be a ham.
Then I would think about writing a Java program to do it, as I slipped
into
sleep while listening to 'Coast-to-coast-AM' on the radio.
