These pictures are really good

Hi Currently I have a dipole in the loft cut to my chousen frequency and with a balun. The aerial is duel purpose, in that when i'm not transmitting throught it i'm using it to recieve. Obviously with it been cut reception is poorer at the opposite end of the band. When transmitting I have to use ar...

To many myspace = their brain and so when myspace is broken so is their brain

Hi I have had the max pro 3 for sometime, it is good transmitter I was thinking of getting one of the boxed units, but i'm not sure weather to wait or not. The thing i'm not sure about is if a new max pro transmitter comes out with bigger and better features, will I have to get a compleatly new boxe...

I have manged to get my dipole aerial higher up but reception is much reduced. The aerial was placed very close to a chimney breast and it seems that it is that which was effecting the reception, effectly reducing the power of the signal by half. When I moved to aerial away everything worked fine ag...

like all sorts and have played all sorts, faverate type of musc is eurodance thought, i play mostly unsigned artists on my station from most genes, nothing is really prohibited. Even had some rudolf on afew christmases ago

cable is quoted at 8.5db at 100meters, i'm presuming thats is 0.85db at 10 meters, there was a cable with a loss of 2db at 10meters that would obviously loose some of the signal because theres over a db in difference between the 2, but if the difference was just 0.2 of a db a fraction of a db would ...

cable run is just less than 10 meters

I would only put the aerial horizontal if there was no other choice.

I'm using quite low power, would there any difference, if you picked out a 75ohm and 50ohm cable with simliar loses and cut them both to the same lenght would there really be any difference in the signal?. I am currently using about 500mw and a dipole aerial with 75 ohm co-ax, strong reception reach...

In the example 88.0Mhz is used, each element works out at around 30 inches in long.
A simple easy and effective way to cut dipole elements.

300 divided by 88.0= 3.40
3.40 divided by 2= 1.70
1.70 multiplied by 0.895=1.52
1.52 multiplied by 39.3=59.95
59.95 divided by 2=29.97 inches
