Antenna separation


 

'm attempting to teach ignorant "hams" about antenna separation. Anyone have some humorous cartoon images to share about the problems with lack of communications and results of a poorly install station, especially at a remote, populated site?
?
Reality check: the word "ignorant" is not derogatory, just means one does not know what the subject is, nor hear about it. Hence need teaching.?

Might not be what your looking for.
?
I used 2 mag mount mobile antenna's on a PVC pipe with a simulated platform to show the different levels of separation as if was on a tower to demonstrate the difference.??? You can even use two welders vise clamps and move them up and down the PVC and take a few photos. ? Will help the visual learners in your class and most everyone else plus its cheap to make to demonstrate to people who don't understand horizontal and vertical separation.
?
Thanks!

I was recently sent this photo after donating a Kreco C-36 colinnear vertical for a local 6 meter repeater project. Got a message am that they were experiencing high swr. The antenna is factory cut for 53 mhz and is being used on 53.150.?

Note the DB420 right next to the C-36. Definitely NOT going to work.?

This is not confined to amateur installs, I’ve seen some pretty messed up things at commercial sites.?


 

I just finished uploading my RF mangement page:? Scroll down to near the bottom for a laugh.

Thanks, Lloyd for sending me that crazy picture, I would imagine some of the folks will get a laugh out of it.
