Europa-List: Antennas for Europas

[Fergus Kyle <VE3LVO@rac.ca>]

Rowland,
        Quite right - not as critical as a flashlight, but my full-wave quad
on 7 megs got 15db less off the sides, made it worthwhile to aim. I once
flew a piper J3 which was equipped with an antenna that made it almost
impossible to contact without aiming - made the tower elves furious, as I
had to swivel to talk on ground control.
Cheers, Ferg
PS: The owner was an antenna designer for Bombardier's daddy, Canadair, and
kept playing with things.
