" All of us have tried separate small loop receive antennas, both passive
and active, with only marginal improvements. Noise cancelling antennas don't
work due to the myriad of noise sources in built-up areas. Short Beverages
are a waste of time as well.
Bottom line is it is hardly worth bothering.

9V operations are similar to Jakarta, with huge noise problems in an urban

Guy and jim,
No, I'm not missing anything -- did you miss my words "first

feasibility study, not intended or accepted (by me, at least) as a
predictor of actual performance of an antenna on a building that we

No. You'd be missing the essential point which has to do with the "shape"
of the tool and whether it was remotely suited to the problem.
The best estimate of NEC applied to this problem, even with a cage for the
building, will likely be buried in inescapable inaccuracies. The
cage's good point is
Ah, perfection. Sadly, EZNEC does not provide that set of options. If I
could build that model, I would. But I can't. I will take this first

Hi Jim,
I must respectfully disagree. And warn any reader that using NEC ground
media to simulate a conductive roof is a very troubled procedure with
significant issues.
Using the first media to simulate an elevated conductive plane for any
purpose is a problem. Using it to simulate radials is si
Actually, what he says is not use the high level media to model a RADIAL

While playing with this model, I changed the characteristics of the
higher level media to have far less conductivity. The result suggested

There is a rather stern W7EL caution in the EZNEC doc about using two

Hi Bud,
Thanks for comments.
I used sea water in the model to correspond to your copper plate
example. I also tried other less conductive mediums for the roof as a
sanity check. What changes is the strength of the high angle stuff.
No surprise that a dipole 5 ft above a conductive surface wo

Hmmm! Let's remind ourselves of Nuradi's situation. The roof is 110m
high, 45m x 33 m. Corner to corner is less than a wavelength on 80M, more
than a wavelength on 40M, but the distance to a corner from a wire strong
between the two corners is less than a quarter wave on 80M, less than a

Jim — I’m not sure you’re “missing” anything from a theoretical standpoint.
Some comments from a practical standpoint, however:
1. In my dormitory roof example, our objective was to work W/VE — most of
whom were very close to us, hence very high angle. We might well have had a

We weren’t worried, because the roof was at least 70 feet above the surrounding
terrain.

Dear all,
In preparation of this coming WW big contest, I plan to install wire antenna
on a roof top of a 33rd storey building (about 110metres above the ground)
for operating on the 160M, 80M and 40M band.
