I'm with joe,
Some of us may be interested enough to actually build and test some
of the antennas you write about, but there is never enough detail for
anyone to attempt a build. And why don't you post a link to your site?


Hi All,

This is not going to resolve issues.


I can concur. I won't go so far as to say they won't "work" - whatever
work is defined as, but I don't see any new ground being broken.

ANother of Art's antennas, the rotatable coil on a stick is a tuned
circuit on a stick, and probably functions as a EH antenna. I'd guess
that most of it's radiation would be from the coax. Looking at the
instructions given, I figured that's what it was going to do, so didn't
take it any further.

This mesh device is either a wide dipole or a somethingorother worked
against ground. It will probably tune and put out a signal. I wonder how
things will work as it corrodes? Might get complex.

If you need to use a tuner, you might as well just put up as much number
12 THHN wire, and tune it. My doublet with an MFJ tuner works great.
