Hello Jim,
this is an eMail from Germany, from a non-American reader of kitplanes.
My name is Bernie and I'm aeronautical engineer with almost no clue
about high frequency electronic things like antennas.
So I have a few questions regarding your article:
- what is a #10 copper wire (in diameter or in cross seqional aerea) ?
- If I nestle a 1/2 inch wide copper tape around a 1/4 inch diameter
dowel the tape does not build a closes tube. Is that right?
- If I understand your figure 1 "the coaxial balun assembly" right I
see no connection from the inner coaxial conductor to any element of
the antenna. Is that right?
I would be very glad if you could halp me to get the antenna right.
Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards
Bernie
