Paul,
Thank you for the suggestions. I'll look into it.

In reviewing the listed subjects, I would like to query
the group on
relatively simple "Electric field strength" measurements.
I have successfully made measurements in the past
utilizing Tektronix
2700 series spectrum analyzers, but I would be interested
in less costly
ways to compare HF and VHF antennas to a dipole standard.
In my retirement years, I no longer have such available to
me.
I am aware of the need for 5 to 10 wavelengths separation
between the
tested and sampling antennas, as well as ground
reflections, for
electric field tests. Also simple diode detectors with DC
amplifiers,
are seldom linear, nor are the input impedances, reliable
for accurate
comparisons, utilizing a calibrated attenuator for "A" and
"B" comparisons.
Anyone have something to offer on the subject?
