DESCRIPTION:
However, 160-meter antennas can be large and difficult to install due to lack of available space.Short Antennas for 160 Meter Radio dares to discuss the possibility of smaller antennas for this intriguing band. Intended for amateurs with advanced skills in antenna modeling, Grant Bingeman, KM5KG, walks you through the theory behind innovative designs for relatively compact antennas. Contents: Short Antenna Behavior, A Better Way to Define Antenna Bandwidth, Why Top-loading Can Improve Short Antenna Performance, Top Hat Arrangements, Inverted Cone Antennas, Closed Antennas, Antennas with Two Driven Elements, T-shaped Antennas, Inverted L-shaped Antennas, Antennas with
"Not good enough for publication (yet)" according to Tom.Cosmic. This is not a finished book -- it is a prototype collection of articles that gives patchy coverage of modeled results for transmit antennas at 1.8 MHz (160 meter wavelength) -- the extension of the amateur radio "short wave" band into the top of the AM broadcast band.This book might be a useful collection of models, all evaluated for 1.8 MHz, always assum. "Pretty Useless" according to L. Scott. I didn't find this book to be of much use. The drawings are small and confusing. $2Pretty Useless I didn't find this book to be of much use. The drawings are small and confusing. $23 for a book that's only one eighth of an inch thick?Despite the fact that probably the commonest 160 meter antenna is variations of the Inverted L, the authors only devote slightly more than one page to it. IMHO, they spend too much space on antennas that very few hams wil. for a book that's only one eighth of an inch thick?Despite the fact that probably the commonest 160 meter antenna is variations of the Inverted L, the authors only devote slightly more than one page to it. IMHO, they spend too much space on antennas that very few hams wil. Deep This book covers several different styles of 160 meter antenna design. It is not one which offers specific plans for the hobbyist but is deep in theory. This information could be valuable if your considering a design of your own. The author is actually Grant Bingeman KM5KG. Edith Lennon N2ZRW is the editor.
