Has "antenna" died?

Dear Group: While I attend only now-and-then, it seems as it has been days since new communications have been posted. Something might have changed with my ISP or I asserted some secret instruction. 73, Mac N8TT You're fine. Sometimes it's just quiet. Art is in an institution or fresh back with good meds. Others are probably busy with it being summer. Those of us in the upper midwest haven't had a "normal" summer yet this year which is just fine by me. Bring on the drought, bring on more cold summers! tom K0TAR |

Tom, this wierd summer ( or lack of it ) has applied to the Pacific Northwest, too.... except for the past week. Ed K7AAT |

Participation has been falling from the peak of 1999-2001, down by about 6dB on average, but 10dB for July (if posting volume were power, mostly dissipated heat; double that if you think of postings as lost potential). The posting count follows the classic battleship curve of emerging then declining fads, fashion, schools of thought, what-have-you social trends. We are now as engaged as we were in 1995. Consult: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.r...na/about?hl=en I would not speculate or offer that counts indicate quality, however. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

Ed K7AAT but at least all the 'normal' kooks are taking a vacation or got their meds caught up. sure reduces the noise level in here quite a bit. |

Dear Richard and Group: Ah so!
Since I have taken to automating the purging of notes from authors-of-noise, it occurred to me that I might have turned up the squelch too high. I am relieved to know that is probably not the case. In the matter of antennas: my esteemed colleague AB8T's EM class' antenna project was a great success. Students designed UHF TV antennas (Channels 14-51) using EZNEC5+, constructed the antennas, and then had their performance compared to expected. It was an opportunity for students to learn-by-doing in several areas. As readers on this group know well, antennas involve several areas of science and engineering. The one important area not covered because it was thought too far from EM, was the issue of survivability in the presence of wind/ice loads. 73, Mac N8TT -- J.

Hi Mac, It sounds like you will survive this fading battleship curve by having secured your own life boat with these class projects - congratulations to AB8T. Myself, I find more interesting "antenna" applications being designed at the nanoscale in a remarkable field called Surface Plasmon Resonance. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
