RC,
Instead of playing the 'game' of posting a reply to anything I post. Why don't you be helpful to the original poster and attempt to answer his question. First - What type (name) antenna is he talking about ? Second - What is your 'expert' opinion about this antenna ? Third - What are the technical aspects of this antenna ? - - - - - The Original Question - - - - - Hi, Does anyone remember a weird compact antenna that was featured in a 60's (or early 70's) edition of "73" magazine. Had 2 etched PCBs (like spaced plates) mounted inside a plastic bucket, and fed with coax? Does anyone know more details of this?

It is about 10' in diameter, requires no extensive underground radials, uses approximately 75% less energy and is more efficient. Hi OM, More efficient that what, a resistor? 75% less energy than what, a resistor? The eh antenna is one of several of a class that take more effort for less return than simply putting up as much wire as you have room for - even if it is the same size as any of these "amazing!" antennas. The absurd claims that attend the cfa/eh/fractal crowing societies is matched by their inability to prove them except through their own special math (never mind the S-Meter). However, there are those who argue SWLers need poor antennas and I suppose these fit the bill nicely. The technical equivalent of cell phones VS string-and-dixie cups tho'. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC .. |
