I bought a set of Wilton "tuned" pie pans yesterday to experiment with a choke ring antenna. The "kit" consists of 4 pans of diameters 12", 10", 8", and 6". The height of the sides is more or less 51mm. I've been experimenting with placement of the patch in the pit, but I don't know what I'm looking for, so a little help would be appreciated. Am I looking for best overall signal level from horizon to azimuth, or something else? I'm not sure I would know how to measure multi-path levels. There seems to be a definite difference depending on whether the patch is at the bottom, somewhere in the middle, level with the rim of the pans, or even perched on a DVD disk which is level with the rim. I don't have any sort of metal container to use as a support for the patch at this point.
