Russell,

What are you comparing this to or using it for?

Are you just having fun experimenting or do you have a planned use for
this antenna?

Has anyone used these mobile antennas in the dipole mode? How about a
design for a multiband array on a small rotor?


Last fall we used a pair of 40M Hamsticks up about 30 ft for a demo at
a local school and we made contacts from our location near Atlanta, GA
to stations as far north as Cape Cod and as far south as Florida. We
operated strictly 40 and we ran 100 watts.

Are the radiation resistances for various Hamstiks published
anywhere?

TIA.

Chuck asks:

Since the Hamsticks are approximately 8 feet long, these values from
the ARRL Antenna Book should be in the same ballpark. 75m ~ 0.8 ohms,
40m ~ 3.0 ohms, 30m ~ 5.8 ohms, 20m ~ 11.0 ohms, 17m ~19 ohms, 12m ~ 29
ohms.
