Antennas
Thanks, John. The reason that I'm looking for something other than a
standard 1/4 wave antenna is that I have one of those now, and it isn't working. I know nothing about antennas other than what I've read on the 'net, but I've been told that the location of mine isn't the best. It's on the wing root fairing, and from what I've been told, this doesn't give it the most optimized ground plane. I read of a case where a guy with a PA-11 had the same problem, and installed a folded dipole inside the fuselage and it worked great. I thought maybe the folded dipole or a copper tape system might help me out without moving the antenna around and drilling all kinds of holes in the sheet metal. All I need is something for communications with my handheld in order to talk to the occasional tower--nothing heavy duty at all. I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks again, Terry |
