It is hard to imagine going to these lengths to debunk nonsense, but I guess it is the only way. And, as we periodically see here, even going to these lengths aren't completely adequate. Roy Lewallen, W7EL That's because the EH antenna and the CFA antenna are based on a religion or faith, not on science. No matter what facts multiple independent sources submit, those who have faith will ignore the facts. 73 Tom |

Not every subject is an attack on you, and the rest should not be used as an opportunity for your propoganda. It is very tiring. tom K0TAR |

What is an EH antenna
"Frank's" wrote in message news:2yUXf.18997$B_1.11490@edtnps89... Recently heard about EH antennas and have done some research into them including reading some articles in this newsgroup. It is begining ti sound very much like my friends homemade FM/TV antenna. My friend being short on money fastened an old bicycle rim to a piece of galvanized pipe( axel stuck in the pipe) Feedline was connected from the center o the wheel to a point on the outer rim. I had repeated told my friend that something like this would never work and he demonstrated to me that it did.. I theink the EH antenna is a lot like this old wheel, just about anything placed on a mast with work to some degree. In this case a very poor antenna allowed my friend to receive 2 TV stations and 4 or 5 FM radio stations. This was a vast improvement over the 0 tv and Fm stations he was receving before putting up his "antenna" Would it be appropriate to say that an EH antenna is more like a coupler that utilises the antenna support structure(tower/mast) and feedline as the radiating elements of the antenna?. I think the EH is the same idea as the CFA; in which case the following paper says it all: http://www.fi.uba.ar/materias/6654/d...CFAantenna.pdf. It is hard to imagine going to these lengths to debunk nonsense, but I guess it is the only way. Frank I have to admit that at one time I too thought a viable antenna could me made from lumped values of inductance and capacitance. I was about 12 or 13 at the time. I am also thinking my analogy with the bicycle rim antenna may not be so far off. LOL |
