Hello:
Have been putting a fair amount of time into
trying to understand antenna radiation patterns.
Guess I finally have to admit that I'm 3d challenged, and frankly have
difficulty in visualizing them.
So, let me just ask:
Am thinking of purchasing a PAR EFL- SWL receive only antenna for my attic.
Can probably be considered as an end fed dipole
Will probably run it as an inverted L, with the vertical section being about
10 feet, and going from the attic to the floor below where the radio is. As
the total length is 45', this would leave 35 feet going horizontally.
(placing outside would not be practical)
Interested in as omni as possible, as do listening most anywhere from 0.5 to
30 MHz\0\0\0
Have two questions, please:
a. anyone ever use this antenna ? Think it would be "substantially" better
than what I have now which is a simle random length wire going around the 4
