That Amrad antenna... Both ends grounded means that there is no huge voltage gradient on the line, something to watch for as we have hung the line from one tree to another, through a forest. Surely t
Wooops, I guess I did not express myself quite clearly enough. The far end of the wire terminates in a field , (and specifically near a pond) visited by many cows. In order to avoid any possible unpl
From Tom, G3OLB Andre I'm not at all clear how this antenna is matched and fed. I am particularly interested because I currently use an 1100 ft end fed wire which I could conceivably extend to a full
Hello All. Your comment about your antenna maybe operating like a LOOP is probably correct. I would suggest it is performing like a grounded quad. Similar systems used on 160 and 80 metres where one
Sorry but i forgot to include this fine program, found at: http://ham.te.hik.se/~sm5bsz/pcdsp/pcdroot.htm Worked with my PCI-64 and now works with AWE-64. 73's de Ko, NL9222. JO22KF Hello All. Your c
Hi all, The ground path (actually multiple paths) between "dipole" ends is lossy compared to copper wire, so the circulating current is generally lower than if ground wires were used, however the ape
We use this technique of grounding both ends of a wire in Cave Radio work as it enables us to communicate to a greater depth than does the conventional method, which uses resonant loops a metre or tw
