The Fork Antenna

Hello!
If you have a small yard you have to try different antennas to find the small ones! From an article in Funkschau dated 1975 (heft 17/519) I found an antenna concept which HB9RU names ”Der Zwei-Stimmgabel-beam”. It is small, vertical and can, according to the author, work at low heights. I made a wire beam and made some modifications and got very good results. It costs almost nothing and has good performance data. If you go to "http://hem.passagen.se/sm0dtk/" and click on "Butler" in the lower left corner you can download a zip-file showing the size and hints for building the antenna! 73 de SM0DTK, Martin
