All Band Coax-fed Dipole ??????????
Indeed it does. Many are happy with an antenna that gives a low SWR on all bands and radiates 1/100 of the applied power. You can work the world with one watt of radiated power. On the other hand, give a ham an efficient but poorly matched antenna that causes his rig to fold back and produce only 10 watts, and he'll be an unhappy camper. So the first antenna "works" but the second doesn't, even though the signal it radiates is 10 dB stronger. Roy Lewallen, W7EL Well said but now everyone knows the secret. |
