FO&A,
With one of the LF Engineering Vertical Active Antennas
sometimes a Slinky Junior (Jr.) can be use with good effect.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Shortw...a/message/6563
HOW TO :
Place the Slinky Jr. over the Antenna Element and Secure
the Bottom of the Slinky Jr. to the Bottom of the Antenna.
* Two to Three Plastic Wire Ties will do the job.
* Attach a piece of Fish Line or Mason Line to the Top
of the Slinky Jr. and Rig it to a Higher Object/Structure
above the LF Engineering Vertical Active Antenna.
- OR - Lay the LF Engineering Vertical Active Antenna on it's
Side Horizontal [Flat] and Rig the Slinky Jr. as a Horizontal
[Flat] Antenna (Mini-Random-Wire / Micro-Long-Wire).
Now - Extend the Top of the Slinky Jr. so that it is Stretched-Out
about Four Feet Overall and try your Radio Reception for improvement
with the LF Engineering Vertical Active Antenna.
Next - Extend the Top of the Slinky Jr. so that it is Stretched-Out
about Six Feet Overall and try your Radio Reception for improvement
with the LF Engineering Vertical Active Antenna.
Continue to Stretch-Out the Slinky Jr. Two Feet at a Time until
you notice Signal Overloading and Images with the LF Engineering
Vertical Active Antenna.
= Four Feet ( 4' ) = Minimum
= Six Feet ( 6' )
= Eight Feet ( 8' )
= Ten Feet ( 10' )
= Twelve Feet ( 12' ) = Maximum
NOTE - The Slinky Jr. {Junior} which has about 85 Turns with a
Diameter of 1 7/8 Inches and a Circumference of 5.89 Inches
for a Total Wire Length of "41.7" Feet.
* Optimum "Stretched-Out" Length about 13.3 Feet
Once Again - Sometimes this works in getting that 'little extra out'
of the LF Engineering Vertical Active Antenna; and sometimes it
is a case study in Signal Overload using and Active Antenna.
