Sorry your tests results were debunked by Frank in the xterminator thread, you are a voodoo tech Frank never tested any of the antennas. I just tested my 9' whip (mounted on the roo-guard of my Dodge). Tied it back so the top was parallel with the ground (pointing East, if that makes a difference). Measurements were compared to the antenna straight up.......; SWR didn't change at all, and vertically polarized field strength dropped by a hair. However, horizontally polarized field strength made a huge jump to the good. Subjectively, I listened to the toilet bowl while pulling on the lanyard. Some weak signals disappeared while others came in that weren't there before. Let the whip go back to vertical and the old signals came back while the new signals were lost. Looks like it's a compromise situation. Frank Did you try it in Barney Phife mode? The start of this thread was on car, it was suggested that you tie it down like a bow. Bows are bent 180 degrees, so it would have to be tied down to the same level as the base. I tried it and the minimum SWR point moved lower in frequency. Modeling it showed that the take off angle also increased. Maybe causing the effect you were seeing. Think you could talk flatside dx with it in that position? Which direction did it talk best? Steve; I didn't play with it all that much to see which direction it talked the best. Modeling, showed that the Max Horizontal field is broadside to the antenna and Max vertical is more inline with the direction that its bent. Does your news server carry alt.binaries.pictures.radio? I put a jpeg of it there. Red is The Hor field, Black is the Vert |
