wrote: Does a folded dipole antenna have the same low noise characteristics as a loop antenna? Hi Ed, Yup, the same as a standard Dipole. If what you are saying about "low noise" is from charge accumulation (snow, rain, dust....) then the DC short helps in comparison to the standard Dipole. However this is simply remedied with a large resistor (1 KOhm) or choke across the feed point of the standard Dipole. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
