A slide rule. It's been nearly 40 years since I used one. Not sure I still remember how... 73 Stan KM4HQE

Re: look what I found at Goodwill
I have a well maintained bamboo slide rule in a drawer somewhere here. Never liked the metal ones. It got me through college to a BSEE, but shortly after that, on my first full time engineering job at

Lucky you!!!!! Remember, during the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos, the Slide Rule "made" the first U and Pu supercritical masses happen. Trinity (New Mexico) proved their worth. I need to shop our

Re: At which point do we take the value of impedance to tune an antenna?
In addition to my last post, SWR / VSWR can be measured using either voltage or current. If there is SWR / VSWR on the line, both will change according to Ohm's Law. At any given point referenced

QUOTE: " So, you are saying that VSWR is based on voltage, but caused by an impedance mismatch." IF: Z(Source) = Z(XMSN Line) = Z(Load) There will be no standing waves and the SWR / VSWR will measure

SWR and VSWR
OK, for the youngsters in the group a bit of history. It's over 100 years ago.Coax has not been invented yet.There are no SWR metersThere are no VNA's.? ?(Well, an RF Bridge and a lot of math will

Re: At which point do we take the value of impedance to tune an antenna?
It's not just US broadcasting stations that are like that, in France too. I did part of my out-of-school internship at a station that was broadcasting 300 kW on 600 kHz 150kW on 890kHz All in AM,

Re: At which point do we take the value of impedance to tune an antenna?
You are all missing the message, Resonance has no effect on antenna performance so it¡¯s not a concern if an antenna is resonant or not. I don¡¯t think I ever saw an US AM broadcast antenna that was

Re: At which point do we take the value of impedance to tune an antenna?
I thought, at one time, that by not using the antenna at resonance (zero reactive) the bandwidth of the antenna would be widened. After adaptation (filter in 'L'), I note, by calculation, that it is
