Radials of equal length, 180 degrees apart, and perpendicular to the antenna do not radiate, whether they're in free space, on the ground or buried. ...
Just a technical aside. Radials installed perpendicular to your antenna and opposite of each other, regardless of whether they are elevated or not, d...
@NightAire, sometimes I think that it's better to ask forgiveness than permission. But I understand your reluctance to even potentially step out of b...
What it all boils down to is that it really doesn't matter what the rules say; a lot are vague and open to interpretation (i.e., wordsmithing). If an...
Yes, the final amplifier is in the TH unit itself. That unit has matching built in (actually one of the weak points of the transmitter, it's automati...
It's all wordplay. They *may* have filters and a tuning section in the ATU, but then, so does the TH transmitter, as it can be used on its own. Th...
@John. Interesting. That 2.5Mhz graph is still exponential. I guess that's how ground waves behave. Out in free space (i.e., no ground), they wou...
And a big thank you to @John for the tests that he ran in the real world (as opposed to theory or simulation).
Also, at 2.5Mhz, the wavelength is about 120 meters. You're still in the near field until 300-400 meters or so (the lower the frequency, the farther ...
Reading over my post, I should clarify that quadrupling (say) the distance from the antenna means the field strength will be decreased 1/4 as per theo...
Yeah, I had that erroneous AI reference as well. The Facebook poster probably did also. Another search interestingly enough came back with the corre...
@richpowers, licensed stations over the air are a totally different animal. We flea powered stations struggle to get any sort of notice, and when we...
Well, short compared to, say, 5000 songs, which could take 20-25 days to go through. Maybe Zeno randomizes better than Salamandra, but even with pla...
You may also want to assert your copyright on what you're (assuming that you have the rights - I think you said that if you have a subscription, you g...
