It has been my experience that most people that are sharing their antenna
designs on a web site have very bad drawings of those antennas so bad that
it is hard to determine how to build them. Well I would like to help
change that. If anyone here is actively maintaining a web site with
antenna designs and would like better drawings, please let me know. I
will draw them in 3D and give you the 3D model to put on your web site
along with screen shots and or PDF drawings of the 3D model. For web site
visitors to view the 3D model they have to download and install the free
viewer and download the model. The viewer does work as a plug in to IE
but it's not very easy to use that way.

Hi Chris

I just finished designing an antenna that I'm in the process of trying to
describe on a web site. The antenna isnt of much value to most HAMs. I
made it for receiving weather satellites (NOAA). I have a buddy in Finland
who is helping me display the concept on his web site so anyone with an
interest in weather satellite images can build their own hemispheric
coverage antenna.
My buddy in Finland puts everything I send him on the web. So, this site
may be confusing. But, the general idea of what I'm trying to make clean
and clear is at http://213.250.83.83/~jerry/index.html.

How do I get an idea of the cost?



I don't really care what the antennas are for as long as it is a
community share type project and not something you are only going to
sell plans for. As long as I don't get to many requests, I'll draw it up
for free. In return I'm hoping some of you guys out there who know
antenna design can help me with some antenna designs. Right now I am
trying to figure out a good design for a LEO Satellite Phone that has a
frequency range of 1616-1626.5Mhz.

So if you can get email me some sketches or what ever you have I will
try and draw it up. The email I use for news groups is bogus. You can
email me at a real address by looking for the "email support" link on my
web site linked below.
