Hello all,
I do appreciate the input, seems like its not such a good idea! Just to clarify the actual construction details, the configuration would be in a dipole. The 1/4 lambda wire would be wound on a form which has slots cut into the periphery of an insulator to accommodate the wire and the form would be 300mm (12") in diameter, the wire would be wound from top to bottom of the form until all the wire is wound on the form. I envisage a 75mm (3") gap between each slot, maybe more depending on the distance between the circular insulators, around 1500mm (5 ft). Hopefully you can picture what I was going to build! John VK2KC There would be two of these and "Richard Harrison" wrote in message ... Wim, PA3DJS wrote: "The zig/zag pieces do, however, not contribute to the far field radiation." My take is slightly different. The complete antenna can be considered as made up of infinitely small pieces, each of which contributes to a wector sum at a distant point in the far field depending on the current in the tiny segment and its position. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI |
