"A 3 M diameter has about 9.42 M circumference so becomes effective as its circumference is about one wavelength or about 11.8 MHz. At lower frequencies radiation from a helix is radial rather than axial." Rounding: 300/10M=30 Mhz. Likewise: 300/1M=300 Mhz. If Art`s helix is only about 1 meter in circumference, not 10 meters, it will only be effective as an end-fire antenna above about 300 MHz, not 30 MHz. The good news is that his reflector can be proportionally smaller. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI |
