The WWV antennas are center-fed vertical dipoles.
Thanks for the reminder about this -- I vaguely remember reading about their antennas years ago. Question -- from the description, is the feedpoint higher than a quarter wave above ground? A few years ago, I did an NEC modeling study of HF verticals that showed that doing that improved the vertical pattern and seemed to suggest that it reduced ground losses. Your thoughts?
The study is here. http://k9yc.com/VerticalHeight.pdf 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
