K4TLH Forums: Antenna forum

Message

   I  am thinking about having an HF antenna forum much like the VHF antenna forum we had in October 2006.  There seems to be a lot of interest.  The forum would last about 3-4 hours.  There is an overwhelming number of topics we could cover but here is a list of some areas that come immediately to mind:
1.   Propagation- skywave, seasonal variations, sunspots.  
2.  The dipole and its variations
3.  Hanging an antenna
4.  Feedlines-coax and twin lead
5.  NVIS-near vertical incident system
6.  DX antennas
7.  Mobile antennas
8. Emergency antennas.

If you are interested in attending,  what subjects from those above or other areas would you like to have someone knowledgeable talk about?  Let me know.

The last hour or two we would make HF antennas, or some other construction project.

If  you are interested in attending the forum, and it would probably be held  the first or second Saturday in April, let me know.  Also let me know what topics you would like discussed.

	I am not too interested in information that can be gotten from an antenna book. What I would like to discuss involves things that other hams have learned, like tricks of the trade. I would be interested in DX antennas only. HF multi-band. I also want to install a tower and would like to pick up some pointers there also. Appreciate all your work. Hugh
