Oh yeah, I forgot to make mention of the "nuts"... Regards wrote in message oups.com... This posting sequence has been an enlightening experience though, and well worth the trouble. I have learned that most will wage a "religious war" if they think anyone is going to challenge the generally accepted ideas and methods. If you insist on going on, you will run the gauntlet of nay sayers and be attacked. Guffaws and slurs against your mental stability will assualt you. If one is looking to try something new--this is NOT the place to discuss it. Perhaps another news group, where those who seek to intimidate and "out shout" true expermenters would be banned and refused posting would be a workable alternative and more conductive to attempts to break the mold. ................................................ ...................... I think I'm going to vomit....Are you related to Art? If not, you should be....Whine, whine, whine.... You think you are the first one to try that? I tried that using my helical mobile antennas years ago...Big deal...BTW...I ended up preferring the normal 1/4 wave config for a mobile antenna...Just in case thou art interested...I also agree with one poster...The biggest change will be with the current distribution... They were making CB antenna *years* ago, using that "extended winding" type of design...Many were a 5/8's wl winding. Sheesh....Get a grip. Quit whining...Religious war? Slurs against your stability? Will be soon, if you don't quit this retched "poor ole maligned me" whining. You never saw me say anything about the antenna itself. Why? Cuz being I have tried it, I know they can work. But like I said, I ended up not using it as the normal 1/4 wl config worked better on my car. Trust me...The idea has been tried long ago. There is nothing wrong with posting something new here. Although to others, it might not be new at all. In fact, if you are *actually* interested in if it's viable, this is probably the best place. You won't get suger coated bullcrap here... Now, if you are trying to push some funky device like say the EH antenna, yep, you probably don't wanna be here...Go to a yahoo forum where all have to register to join. That way you can control all the posts, and make the outcome of your "discovery" come out any way you want. Sheesh... MK Mark is right. This is an ancient antenna. Anyone interested can look up the article on normal-mode helical antennas in the _Antenna Engineering Handbook_ and get some references at the end of the chapter for further study. Most of references date from the '60s and '70s. 73, Tom Donaly, KA6RUH |
