For One and All,

Thank You "JP" for bring the IsoTron Antenna
website to my attention.

The IsoTron Antenna represents an interesting Antenna design


Interesting maybe, but a IMHO just a little bogus. Just some funky
shaped sheet metal.

Read the 'Aerials' column by Kurt N. Sterba in World Radio magazine and
see how many countries he has actually worked using either a lawn chair
or a shopping cart as an antenna, the point being that *any* chunk of
metal will work...(maybe not *efficiently*, but it will work).

No always so inefficiently; My radio club while teaching elementary
school multiplied the range manyfold of our 100 milliwatt AM station on
1200 khz, when one of the kids hooked the antenna to the steel doorjam
of the classroom...thereby effectively gamma matching the steel cage of
the school building. We could be heard many times the legal distance of
2x lambda x freq.

How Do ? - The IsoTrons Antennas Work So Well?


So well? The same way a shopping cart can work "so well".
