loop antennas and noise suppresion
In message , Boomer
writes I do admit that I find the wide spread acceptance of the G5RV by new hams to be a mistake. I certainly understand why they might originally chose this antenna. It claims operation from 75 meters to 10 with just a 102 foot length. This is an attractive specification, but comes with a serious performance cost. The G5RV is not a miracle antenna. However, those who find that it does not perform fairly well probably have not bothered to find out why it is like it is, and where the radiation goes on the various amateur bands. If they don't want an antenna with a radiation pattern like the G5RV, then they should choose a different type of antenna. -- Ian |
