Mike and Don,
I have been using an expanded version of a DHDL here since November 2011. I was
forced into going this way because the neighborhood around me has become very
noisy and the antenna seems to be less susceptible to noise than my other
antennas. I call it the Dual Flag array. I
The attachment for my document that describes the Terminated Bowtie receive
antenna design did not make it to some people in the recent chain of posts
started by Mike (W3TS) that was called "Twist a Flag into a Bowtie?", so I
created a simple website where you can download the document.
Here is
Hi Mike and Don
The DHDL as well as few other antennas, has a hidden component. The bottom
wire parallel to the ground is a transmission line, actually, any antenna
parallel to the ground is a transmission line. A beverage antenna a is
good example.
The ground is the second leg of the
Mike and Gang,
It was this project (terminated bowtie) that got me looking into the KD9SV
994 x5 preamp a few months ago (I published some info on this preamp a few
months ago). I think the KD9SV 994 x5 preamp sometimes called the KD9SV
VLN preamp (very low noise preamp) would be perfect for use
Hi Mike,
Funny you should ask that.
A few months ago (September) I was looking at building a smaller size DHDL
using 4Nec2, and there were a few things I saw that I thought needed
improvement (I saw things in the full size DHDL that I thought needed
improvement, it was not limited to the small
