Dear all,
ok about this neat aerial. I have
also heard
GI4DPE quite often and had a crossband qso 600m/80m with him.
But is
"neat" really the best way? This question causes me to put a question
here on
the server which I already have in my mind for a rather long
time:
According to my experiments on untuned (and broadband)
receiving
aerials for MF SKYWAVE RECEPTION in eastern Bavaria I have got the
impression that a (capacitive) MF aerial should be as high as
possible (not
regarding loop aerials, they may be located close to the ground, for
them the
loop area only counts).
Of course not everybody may be in a
position to
realize a MF aerial 30 meters high, as G3KEV has done, with whom I
had two
crossband contacts. But in general I feel that antenna height should not
be
disregarded. Even with equal ERP sky waves may develop better from
higher
aerials.
HW?
