Antenna Quotes

"The patch antenna actually does help get better signal however it is very directional and I have done a specific video on that antenna actually demonstrating it in use I can say it definitely makes a difference."

"...it's not the most precisely built helical antenna on the face of the planet it's certainly one of the cheapest."

"...don't think you have to pay a fortune for highly precision made antennas because you can do a lot of this stuff yourself."

"With challenging propagation conditions higher noise levels in urban environments it's becoming a real issue QRP low power operation and even compromised antenna situations you can still have worldwide contacts using FTA."

"Is it possible to use two ham sticks as a rotatable dipole?"

"If you want to work DX and you think that you can't because you can't get your antenna up high enough, take heart, you can."

"Great antenna for the smaller garden, great antenna for portable operation. In both scenarios, it works extremely well."

"Antenna efficiency is rather an interesting subject and it isn't one you'll hear spoken about a lot but it can have quite a large effect on how well your antenna performs."

"Gain is simply the ability of the antenna to radiate more or less in any direction compared to that theoretical isotropic antenna."

"Here's an antenna that's very popular now it's called the off center fed dipole or OCfD because it's fed off-center."

"The end fed dipole has seen renewed interest because of its convenience."

"For less than 20 dollars, I actually have a way to deploy an 80 meter dipole at closer to ground level to make it perform like a NVIS antenna."

"The bottom line is you'll improve your range by making your antenna longer and correctly matching its impedance."

"What does this tell you? It's not easy to drive a very short dipole antenna."

"Magnetic loop antennas can be successfully used indoors with minimal performance loss."

"Start with the manufacturer's recommendations of the particular antenna system you are using."

"...perhaps what is the best choice of Mast to support your antenna in a typical Urban situation."

"My intentions is to build a portable bug out antenna with this design."

"Linear loading is quite useful. There are other ways to load the dipoles by the way, but linear loading is a useful way of squeezing an antenna into a smaller space."

"How many of you guys heard us talking about an N fed half wavelength wire antenna? Who's heard of that? Okay, this is a forty-nine-to-one transformer."

"It's like an antenna of steel that captains the energy of the invisible."

"The bottom line is whatever antenna you have with you is the best antenna."

"Can you build your own vertical antenna without radials fairly simply? Well, yes, you can."

"Marconi was trained as a telegrapher, so when he gets going on this and comes down out of his attic, starts working in the backyard, he buries half of his antenna, and that forever, the antenna working against ground, becomes known as the Marconi antenna."

"But if you stick with that good wire and you use the high gain antenna, you get an effective radiated power of 60 watts."

"The antenna on this radio is held in place by a small set screw which is easily removed with an allen wrench."

"The end-fed half-wave antenna is a cracking antenna."

"It's an ideal newcomer's antenna."

"It's a great antenna for beginners... it will work, and you will be pleasantly surprised."

"It requires the use of an antenna tuner but it makes about the most efficient use of a tuned single dipole sort of setup that you could have."

"Most all of the power ends up on the antenna wires and radiates."

"This antenna cost about $79 and it's a great performer."

"I've been very, very happy with my bent dipole."

"It performs as well as a dipole, a lot of people stay with dipoles forever."

"The antenna comes with a couple of supports... which allows you to connect one of two different kinds of antenna arms."

"These would be used in the lower frequency range... because they are a little longer."

"For those much higher frequencies, the frequency wavelength is smaller, so to be resonant, the antenna has to be shorter."

"It's quite an inexpensive antenna to build."

"The best simple antenna is adaptable."

"The Earth magnetic field is very important to make it work, and it works like an antenna."

"I'm pulling in signals on this thing like crazy without much for an antenna."

"Sometimes you just want a really good omnidirectional antenna, and today I'm going to show you how to build one of these."

"One way or another, you have to admit that it is a very interesting compact tri-band beam."

"I'm really impressed with this antenna."

"The Buddy hex is a fantastic antenna, it has continued to be my favorite portable antenna option."

"Resonance is the spot or the lowest spot where your antenna actually will work as an antenna when you put your RF through it on the frequency that it's resonant."

"I'm really, really pleased with this antenna. I am so glad the guy sent me a link and it gave me the idea."

"You can buy an antenna and hook it up to the back of your TV, you can get at least 30 free channels."

"The directivity is 6.671 dBi, which means with respect to isotropic radiating antenna."

"The human body is a giant antenna that's used to collect information."
