The ARRL Receiving Antennas book has a section on this. I started to build the design in the book but didn't have the EE knowledge and capability to do so and gave up on it. Thanks
Doesn't this mean for long distant contacts one should use a circularly polarized antenna? Does the eggbeater antenna scale up to longer wavelengths? And why don't more speak of this in regard to the ionospher? Not really questions, but these were my thoughts on this interesting video.
Curious… could you run 2 feedlines all the way out & connect to ANT1 & ANT2 sockets on a tuner or rig? Or would the unused (at the moment) feedline being connected mess up the phasing, or the match? I could see hooking them both up to an RSP-Duo, using the DXCommander for transmit, pan the rig’s RX signal left, the SDR’s signal right, and being able to compare all 3 by flipping A vs B on the SDR.
Interesting Video. @DXCommander (M0MCX) recommends listening to a veritally polarized antenna in one ear and horizontal in the other. It allows you to get a spatial dimension to all the contacts in your mind and focus on one at a time as you can people in a room.
Dave,
Thanks so much for showing the connections. I have not found a diagram like that before. I have been searching for quite a while.

Thank you Dave. This had made it much clearer to me. Great show

Very interesting discussion Dave - Thanks. - Cheers!

Is this not very frequency dependent? I mean, not a band but a small part of a band?
