  1. SLOT half wavelength radiator...? It would be nice to put 4 or more and feed it with a PROBE...
  2. Styrofoam is the most TRANSPARENT material (almost no effect on Resonance) , but thin PET is good too...Silicone sealer are NOT recommended (high losses)
  3. if there's movement (wind , manipulation , vibrations) you might experiment ups and downs in signal strength (VSWR , Mismatch impedance, resonance , etc) As long the CONTACT is good , all ok.
  4. what i've notice in the SIMs is that every time you add metal Frecuency of Resonance goes up , a little...you might try to take that into account PS: is that a SIGN or a LICENSE PLATE...?
  5. around 10 dbi if the signal is in the same POLARIZATION...3 db less if lineal source... Jomy should try and make it smaller with the meanders in the circle... 3/8 pipe (9.5mm) refrigerator tubes...
  6. Quadix.nec
  7. simlations
  8. the diameter would decrease....but to get more than 10 db it should take more than 2 meters....i think...
  9. YUP! i picked stations (VHF TV RADIO) from Chile (1000km or more ) by refraction that way with the helical monster...and some other antennas...with lots of FADING and it doesn't last long... HEIGHT above GROUND is of utmost importance beyond 200kms... PS: it will be useful to know the POLARIZATION on the TX...
  10. You SHOULD PLAY with the reflector distances around 2 centimetres (19 mm right now) , more or less some millimetres (to allow for PCB differences in material) Closer more gain and vswr ...farther less vswr and gain (there MUST be a SWEET SPOT there) THIS is for FR4 4.3 dielectric constant (permeability) 1 millimetre (thickness) or less Quad .dxf Quad gerber file.gbr quad.cst
  11. working on the RHOMBOID right now...hard to DRAW that shit...
  12. you didn't answer about material availability...sizes...
  13. This should work UKW 14 Elemente, DDR-Ausführung.maa
  14. the CODE was on site UKW 14 Elemente, DDR-Ausführung.maa.txt i'm gonna work on the RHOMBIC...27dbi , more on my alley for dx...
  15. I always wanted to try a crossed dipoles (circular-elliptical) polarized array... Most of the signals are Vertical on old equipment (around here) and quasi CP on the new stations...theory
  16. Other FM mmana files (german) we could try something .."new" ..what tubes are you planning to use... and boom dimensions... hard to get close to 14-15 dbi without a big area reflector...
  17. nice...I did some 400km 500km dx back in the 90's ...but i have a cement glass fiber roof W (dielectric until rain) over which i put 2 x 30 mts helical wire , feed at the middle with 300 ohms cable over or close to 15 dbi i guess...to mi advantage the roof was aligned with the big cities... stations piled up and kick each other out...(yamaha fm receiver good selectivity and sensitivity)
  18. Reception...? UNIdireccional Omnidirectional indoors outdoors...?
  19. JOMY...! HOW do i LOWER the VSWR... antenna is GREAT but too INDUCTIVE REACTIVE... too NARROW BAND... distance to reflector change NO GOOD distance to feed network NO GOOD
  20. NON PERIODIC ( non resonant ) CABLE lengths shouldn't be a problem (only for signal loss , bad connectors, too long , bad quality losses) it's just an interaction between the VNA hardware and the cable...i think... CORRECT ME if i'm wrong.
  21. if I build it (which i WON't) I would pass the cable STRAIGHT ( NO angles ) from the reflector's CENTER and solder it from BEHIND...(but that's just me) need to simulate to confirm...Like i did on the parabolic feed...of course you need to fix the reflector without the bolt in the middle or make it HOLLOW
  22. send ONE bitcoin my way...and we're EVEN! HOPE you BUILD it and tell how it goes!
