Re: Balloon antenna work in progress. #Balloon #antennas #u4b
My first attempt at a QFH was 1.9g without making any effort to be light. I made a few jigs to help get the shape correct but in the end the dipole worked better than my attempt. I was hoping the

Re: Sources for hydrogen/helium in small quantities? #u4b
Yeah - you generate oxygen as well as hydrogen. Hydrogen develops at the anode and oxygen is found at the cathode. Lee KX4TT

Re: Sources for hydrogen/helium in small quantities? #u4b
Yes, I am aware of the Hindenburg and have no desire to re-enact it in miniature. Regarding electrolysis, would the (necessary) addition of an electrolytic affect the composition/dilution of the gases
