Just heard mention of the EH Antenna and that it is rather small

but equal
radiation to a full size dipole !!!.

Sucker! If you believe that then you'll believe anything.


Hi Reg......how so?,

============================
Hello Lee,

The EH antenna is a hoax perpetrated by somebody who hopes to make
money by selling them. His sales description of how the thing works
pretends to make use of the mathematical works of James Clerk Maxwell.
It may sound good to novices but is just a load of nonsense.

Actually, its performance is somewhat worse than other antennas of the
same physical size.

If it's claims are as marvellous as all that, ask yourself why every
amateur doesn't have one, regardless of how big is his backyard. To a
smaller extent, the G5RV falls into the same category.

You did right to ask your question.
