Howdy you all: Hold on your britches I did it again.

I have made another antenna design again.

Slap me silly

I call it the brass pie tin antenna (hee haw)

I built it for the Ramsey am 25 transmitter at 100mw

I did a range test and the interference was very quiet then normal.

I received fringe at 2 miles but still could read signal on truck radio but some area was stronger as well

1 3/4 mile strong and steady for low power am

The antenna was off the ground approx 5.7 feet

I will keep the length to myself do to more testing at this time OK just i case i make changes

Would like to know more join the ALPB

I am having a problem with my 3-meter antenna being detuned by pole-dancing.

Howdy you all:

I rather have the pie over the cupcakes much bigger!

More to feast on that's why the tins are gone!

I know the person on the inside that how I get my utensils!

Tell the girls stop going up and down on the poles so your antenna doesnt detune!

Or tell them to go faster and it won't be noticalble!

I said a mouth full and will leave it there.

Howdy you all: If you haven't thought of it you could make antennas out of all kind of materials.

Use pot and pans,But make sure there copper you can use aluminium.

Keep in mind the electrical advantage of the materials
1) copper
2) brass
3) aluminum

This is the order what you should use in making your antennas.

You should stay away from steel material if all possible.(waisting your time and money )

Want to learn more on antennas come and join the ALPB meetings and find out.

I hate to brag on myself ,But I don't think anyone has seen the range that I do on 100mw am transmitter do to the antennas I have constructed!
