I want to thank's Glenn AA5PK who provide me with the antenna manual. When reading it i discover something new "axial radiation" the matching line can be made for LHCP and RHCP using RG-59 and RG-58 combination for delay/matching lines and two RG-59 for delay/matching lines to produce this "axial radiation"? Is this gives both horizontal and vertical polarization at the same time? If it's the case it's could be a way to counteract the polarization change eg; having to manually rotate the antenna. Just note they don't called it "polarization" but "axial radiation"
Google give me a lot of return but all related to helical, helix antenna as this one: http://books.google.ca/books?id=J4YcUA-rxJoC&pg=PA128&lpg=PA128&dq=antenna+axial+radiation&source=bl&ots=JtTANyGfs- &sig=KS6GlYQASby8PGijm8DRZ5TefDQ&hl=en&ei=kpW0Stu7FdPelAeo96zvDg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=10#v=onepage&q=antenna%20axial%20radia tion&f=false That's what i like in the hamfest you always stumble on odd things this antenna matching harness is made for axial radiation just hope they are not harmful like the gamma rays on humans :) "-" Luc Leblanc VE2DWE Skype VE2DWE www.qsl.net/ve2dwe DSTAR urcall VE2DWE WAC BASIC CW PHONE SATELLITE _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
