.. a wingbeat of a butterfly.. be careful to move around the antenna and touch metal parts while transmitting Paul it is a very "reactive" area not only for the field strenght concept :-)) I guess that the pipe laying on the ground it is part of the ground itself (maybe improving it ) when you rise it from ground level and eventually connect to other existing metal parts you really make change in the environment of the antenna (it is like to tophat wires moving in the space when wind blows) 73, Marco IK1HSS
----Messaggio originale---- Da: [email protected] Data: 5-set-2018 1.09 A: "[email protected]"<[email protected]>, "[email protected]"<[email protected]>, "Discussion of the Lowfer (US, European, & UK) and MedFer bands"<[email protected]> Ogg: LF: Antenna environment changes Subtitle: Be careful what you do in the vicinity of your LF antennas... I had a 14m length of aluminum tube (proposed 30 meter rotatable dipole) laying on the ground just under one end of the top hat of the LF antenna. Today I picked it up and moved it about 20 meters away. To get it off the ground for mowing, I ran it through the lattice of a short tower (9m) that is not at all under the LF top hat. I placed it about 2m above ground. This caused the LF antenna resonance to change so much I could not retune with the variometer! It was quite a large shift in resonant frequency. I then experimented with moving the piece of aluminum tube around. It seems I can lay it on the ground anywhere I want with no affect to the LF antenna. But put it one or two meters above ground connected to another tower or mast and the LF antenna is drastically changed. I must remember not to move any pieces of metal around while the beacon is active! :-) Paul |
