killing cars with RF?

CB-er in a large van passed next to me. He had one of those stupid fat antennas with the gigantic "loading coil," and had to have been running You are not describing a CB antenna. Actually, he might well be. Perhaps you're lucky enough not to have any of these people where you live, but in my neck of the woods, in some lower-socioeconomic-status neighborhoods, there was a wave of enormous CB antennas with HUGE open-wire loading coils at the base, ones that appeared to be made of 3/8" copper tubing or something along those lines. No telling if the coils did anything or were just for show; some of the CBers used high power and others poured their 4 watts into these enormous whips .. I'm seeing fewer of them on the roads these days but they're still around. :-/ _______________________________________________ Ken Kuzenski AC4RD ken . kuzenski at duke .edu _______________________________________________ All disclaimers apply, see? www.duke.edu/~kuzen001 |
