He also knows that a long BOG antenna will self terminate, but not at
an ideal termination impedance.
Also knows that a BOG antenna is a one band antenna when referencing a
nice front to back pattern.
He missed his calling. Should have a professor at Harvard University.

Counterpoise is the 1000 pound gorilla in a room otherwise occupied by mice
and small monkeys. Guess who's crushing chairs and hammering the piano into

During the eclipse next year we will undertake a ham radio based study of
the Ionosphere using RBN.

Hello Dennis:
Those are Relay Service (RSC) relays - not Radio Shack. Let's get on the
phone - we stock those relays and can help you.

Sorry for getting in on this late. Various forms of wife-inspired
busy-ness.
The real kicker here isn't the pattern, it's LOSS. It is helpful when
mentally eyeballing an installation like this to see it in *wavelengths*
rather than linear feet.
The distance that a dielectric material can be from
I have Comtek box that uses Radio Shack RS275-218C relays. I would like
to cross-reference that part number to an existing relay from a
different manufacturer, as the RS relays are no longer easy to find.
Thanks for the help!

I do not remember any video equipment being setup for the Topband dinner
(like there was for the Contesting banquet).
I will see about posting my power-point presentation.

A cloud warmer pattern can more easily be achieved with just a simple
wire dipole for topband . If space is a problem folding back the far
ends or vertical drop wires of the high voltage ends should easily deal
with that issue.

Thanks to all who responded.Yea,I figured too low but thought it might
add some directivity.All in agreement it would not.Just for info.I do
have 2 acres for antenna farm.At the very north end is a sal-30 going up
now.Just south of this by a few hundred is a old hytower.Going to use 2
inch alum
Totally agree. It would have to A LOT higher to obtain anything but a cloud
warming radiation pattern.
