What I was hoping to do was have a helix that acted like a w3edp, ie, a
multi-band antenna. So, if the edp is 87 to 89 feet, would that mean that
a helix might be 174 to 178 feet of wire wound on the form?
Thom,
The comments you have already received have been excellent.
Yep...I am learning a LOT from the expertise of the folks...
You can't fool mother nature by winding a 10-wavelength rhombic onto four
0.05 wavelength long coil forms. It would be great if you could! 8-)
Yes...but, there is always hope.
BTW, the latest version of EZNEC (4.0) has a nice feature that makes it easy
to create models of helical antennas (subject to limits on the maximum number
of segments.) I can model a helical design if you like.
Don;t want to waste your time and energy....it looks like the Holix is not the
way to go....but thanks for the kind offer.
Perhaps I need to take "Bribe 101" to convince the pole climbers not to touch my
wire.
Keep clam,
Yes, and oysters, mussels, crabs and other goodies.
