Meant to add, my Z3805 always used to report that the antenna hight
was +7.50m (MSL) but now it is saying +6.20 (MSL), if you believe
that.

Steve,
Glad to hear that you're all ok and that your equipment survived. We
have family in Christchurch and they're also all ok. Next time we
get over there we'll have to get together to poke and giggle.

Hello,
I just did some experiments using a ceramic patch antenna inside a
small plastic (80 x 30 x 20mm) screw box and experienced much bader signals at
lower elevations.
The plastic is marked as PS (I guess polystyrole ?). Further experiments
covering a GPS with the same kind of box seemed to
Hi Peter,
Sounds like refraction. The plastic has more effect at lower angles.

Test the box minus the screws in a microwave oven if the material heats up then
it is not transparent. May not be the plastic but a pigment that was added to
give the box it's color.

The plastic may also function as a lens particularly the corners of the box

Hi
What are you trying to achieve ?
If you are looking for a simple cover for the patch, the microwave oven is your
friend. Anything that heats up in a microwave is a bad idea, unless it's thin.
Most materials with a variable cross section will act as a lens to some extent.

Thanks Robert, Stanley and Bob for the tips.
I tested some materials in a microwave oven and they all seemed to
be good because there was no heating (maybe handwarm at 800W).
So the magic word seems to be refracting effects even at 1.5GHz...

I would try a search for cake pans in the archive. Large funnel inverted to

Plastic salad bowls might do ok. More or less it's an adventure trip to the

Why go to that much trouble. An old pickle jar would probably do just as well.

While you did not say, I am going to guess you are considering making a weather

I think that I must have it. I'll check it tomorrow.

Good point Chuck,
Finding jars these days that are made out of glass is becoming a thing of the
past. So
many things are going plastic.
