[Antennas] B&W question

2003年2月16日 11:30:45 -0600

The antenna works the same both ways...it is up to 10db down 
on freqs below 10 MHz on both TX and RX compared to a standard
dipole..on freqs above 10 MHz, it works ok BUT there are multiple
lobes that may cause radiation patterns not to your liking (I found
using it on 10mtrs that the ends were DEEPLY nulled..more so than a 
std 10mtr dipole...and major/minor lobes increased at 28 MHz vs
lower freqs....causing certain areas to be in nulls between lobes
and missing contacts I may otherwise have made)..
It is a compromise antenna....and thats what you have to keep in mind
(does it match what YOU want to do with it? if so, go for it!)
