![]() "Richard Clark" wrote ... As I stand on the corner waving goodbye to that bus, I fondly recall how the logic stood that no current could be found on the tips of radiators, thus trim them off to no loss of radiation. It took very few decades before Art had then recognized that his new antenna's tips had no more current than the full-length one, and he trimmed that one once again! New and improved (as the saying goes). Another decade passed into the new millennium and he observed that he could extend this logic once again to the point where his last design encompassed a 160M full sized antenna in the space of two shoe boxes. The TRIUMPH OF TITANIC PROPORTIONS. Is any simillarity between Art and Tesla? Bill Miller wrote: "*But* Tesla's "antennas" were similar physically to the well-known "Tesla Coil." These antennas, in spite of their enormous size, were electrically "small" when compared with a wavelength. They were essentially a metallic ball that was fed from the secondary of a resonant transformer. But they appear to have had fairly large effective bandwidths in spite of their electrically small size," S* |
