Hi Brett,

one withholds his/her identity for protection

You could change your name to Pollyanna with that kind of naivete.

Perhaps this is your cue to another movie. "The Whole Nine Yards?"
Cute, but the sequel sucked big time.

be prepared for the masses which will follow...

Say a few Hail Marys too. ;-)

Richard:



(Psalms 9999:9999)

You fill mine and others threads with your garbage...

You are irksome like a small self-centered, temper throwing child...

You name and call is on the verge of filling me with loathing...



If you have any education, if your up-bringing occurred in the civilized
world--it should be sufficient to just ask you to cease... But, you have
convinced me that is out of the realm of possibility.

However, if you won't quit for sheer decency... quit for your own benefit.
As surely you must realize, the behavior you exhibit here is almost
certainly NOT localized to here and others will KNOW this, do not be a fool
for yourself. You give away the fact that in REAL life you have problems
getting along with others; here is just a continuation of that. You lead
one to believe that your neighbors hold you in contempt, that you purposely
hinder and set to conflict all which you involve yourself in. I even would
bet law enforcement agencies know you personally and dread your calls. You
seem to take pride in appearing as a bully and expect others to enjoy your
performance; only idiots and other bullies will enjoy you. You lead me to
pity your fellow workers--especially if one happens to invoke your ire. I
pray you have no wife...
Halt your present course man! Human memory is fleeting, what shreds of
dignity are left you--KEEP!!!!



Regards

Hi Brett,

You must've had some great difficulty with those kill file
instructions. I'm sure if you posted them again, someone might help
you. Perhaps if they were written in assembler. :-)

Hmmmm. The top had does NOT seem to be such a good idea, at least not in
combination with the helical coil--with total element length as a helical
and evenly spread out.
If I just move a wrench in the yard around the antenna I get wide SWR
swings! (OK, maybe that is exaggerating a bit--but you get my meaning.)
The top hat seems to give the antenna an almost "magical ability" to couple
into any metal object of sufficient size, cars are noteworthy examples!!!

Regards,
John

Hi Brett,

If it's not a good idea, it's not a bad idea either. A top hat is
simply a means to an end - or in terms of good and bad, it makes the
best of a poor situation.

Use a different length wrench. :-)

==================

Or use one made of well-varnished dry wood.

I am planing on side mounting a 2 meter J-Pole part way up on a tower.
How far from the tower should I mount the antenna? I do plan on making
the final adjustment of the feed point with the antenna mounted up a few
feet on the tower. The radiation pattern is not a big concern. In fact
I would prefer that it favor one quadrant.

Thanks for any advice.

Supposing you want the least effect on the pattern and impedance, place
the antenna as far as possible from the tower.. Satisfaction is obtained
with much closer spacing. The tower is non-resonant. Its reactance will
impede induced current from a radiator which is really close by. If
there is little induced current there is little re-radiated energy to
foul the pattern.

The 3rd edition of Kraus` "Antennas" has a graph on page 350 of gain in
field intensity versus spacing from a flat reflector. At 0.5 wavelength
the gain is 0 dBi. That`s less than the resonant 1/2-wave antenna alone
which has about 2.14 dB gain over an isotropic.

The graph shows a gain of about 2.14 dBi with a spacing of only 0.1
wavelength spacing. So, anything greater than 0.1 wavelength from the
tower should be fine. That`s 20 cm in the 2-meter band, or about 8
inches. More distance means less coupling and should be better.
