102" whip
wrote in message
... O Seeing how you brought up the bending of the antenna.......... Another disadvantage of the 102" ss whip is the gain lost because of this bending. It is significant. Where are your test results showing a "significant" loss of gain with a wind-bent antenna? Don't even need a test on this one. 1. It can be mathematically calculated. ( I'll let you do that) 2. It looses gain bad enough that you can actually see it and hear it. Example : Two vehicles are traveling together down the expressway at 75mph. One uses a K-40. The other a 102" whip. Both appear to have similar maximum S-meter readings but the 102 " whips signal fades in and out The K-40 does some fading but not nearly as deep as the 102". Never had that problem unless I was shooting skip. |
