Yes. But antennas are in resonance.
S*

antennas don't have to be 'in resonance'.... a very short dipole
radiates almost as well as one 1/2 wavelength long... its all in the
fields.


As I tried to make Art understand with respect to yagis, it's not
necessarily resonant (or even usually), it's matched. By the matching
network.

It was like releasing excess nitrogen containing waste into the wind,
like all things are with Art.

See wall, hit with head, repeat.
