Just heard mention of the EH Antenna and that it is rather small but equal
radiation to a full size dipole !!!.

If this is true, i am very interested as i only have a small garden (35x18
feet) and the EH sounds ideal so anyone with info , it would be greatly
appreciated.

I am using a homebrew helical for 80m and a sloping half size G5RV and i am
really stuck for space :-/

Lee.....G6ZSG..

Was interested too, but gave up. With so many different descriptions for one
concept, there must bee something foolish. And I don't want to use my rig
as an antenna!

Hello Olivier,

Nice to see a French contributor to this newsgroup. I am a foreigner
myself but they make me feel at home provided I don't disagree too
much with their technical opinions.

And we'll keep you feeling right at home, Reg, as long as you continue
to savor our California wine products and thus favor us with your dry
witicisms.

Sucker! If you believe that then you'll believe anything.

Hi Reg......how so?, i regard you as among the knowlegeable and look forward
to your thoughts on the EH that prompts your comment, `tho it does seem like
something for nothing, i don`t wish to appear too dumb!!....i`m currently
playing with a helical on 40 and am thinking of making a dipole with a
matching helical, i can get that in my postage stamp garden......hi

So you think the EH is a waste of time then??? ;-)

Hello Lee,

The EH antenna is a hoax perpetrated by somebody who hopes to make
money by selling them. His sales description of how the thing works
pretends to make use of the mathematical works of James Clerk Maxwell.
It may sound good to novices but is just a load of nonsense.

Actually, its performance is somewhat worse than other antennas of the
same physical size.

If it's claims are as marvellous as all that, ask yourself why every
amateur doesn't have one, regardless of how big is his backyard. To a
smaller extent, the G5RV falls into the same category.

You did right to ask your question.

Yes, it did cross my mind but i`ve only just heard of it and as i say, i`m
dumb but not too dumb !!! ;-)

Oh!, i`ve got one of those as a sloper........seems to work somewhat, not
brilliant but i can hear stations..... LOL....(wish my garden was bigger
:-/).

I have an enquiring mind ... ta!.

Didn't Radio 252 (252kHz) near Dublin start out using an E-H antenna?
And wasn't there a new high-power SW station in Egypt which was supposed
to use one too? I've feeling that with the latter, they pulled it down
and used a conventional antenna.
