Default 'SMALL' ANTENNA CRITERIA


Art did ship me one of his antennas a week or two back... I have it in
my shop...
I will indeed put this interesting antenna to an objective and
thorough testing with a full report here... I am always excited to
learn something new...

It is 19F outside this morning and blowing hard, with wind and snow
forecast through the week and into the weekend, and I am unlikely to
climb the big tower in this...
I will attempt within a week to put it on a small 50' tower I have
attached to my shop and get some baseline impedence and field strength
measurements... Then as soon as the weather allows I will move it to
the big tower for a good test against my full size antennas...


I am sorry to have to put this off a bit, but given the weather and
that my family is hurting at the moment my free time is limited...
