Hi Dave,
you left a message yesterday, about airband antennas.
I noticed you work for Wang Labs. Being an ex-Wang-er also, I would like to
send you an e-mail, but could not figure out your e-mail address.
Why don't you drop me a message at my home address (due to Easter weekend, I
won't be in the office, until next Wednesday), i.e.:
sv1cec@athnet.ath.forthnet.gr
so we can discuss a bit about people we (might) both know.

Hi, I'm having some difficulty working with my ATV setup. I've got the AEA
VSB70, and I've built the 8-element quagi antenna from the ARRL book. I
don't seem to be getting the kind of performance I think I should, it's
pretty fuzzy at only three miles away with a direct line of sight. I need
some advice on how to go about tuning the antenna. What kind of test
equipment do people use? I've gone to both my local ham stores and they've
told me they don't have any SWR meters that will work up to 500MHz with
under one watt of power. With no SWR or power meter, it's pretty hard to
tune the antenna. Are there any other methods? Can anyone recommend a good
SWR meter? Or should I give up on making my own antenna and just buy one
(what the ham store recommended)? Anyone else with experience using the
8-element quagi for ATV? What kind of performance should I expect if it's
working properly?
Also, I'm thinking about getting an amp; probably the SAU-4 brick. Does
anyone have plans for putting an amp together with this module? Or any
recommendations for a better solution?
Finally, are there any ATV resources on the Internet, eg. mailing list, ftp
site, etc.?
Thanks in advance... <Jeff ve3 kyh

Many years ago, there was a company that made a vertical antenna for
shortwave listeners. Can anyone recall what company that was?
Thanks,
Ray
