sri, I couldn't send this by mail and it might be of interest for
others, too. So I post it ...

Alright, here you are:

A? is the distance between the two adjacent directors.
D? is the director itself, meaning its length
SQ is the emitting element, its length is meant as the total circumference
RQ is the reflector, length is measured like SQ
measurements are in millimeters (mm):
resonance freq. 144.5 MHz 432 MHz
overall length 4205 1405
RQ 2200 711
SQ 2083 676

I hope that helps ...

Dear Steve,
I think (only think remember ) that mininec was written by a guy
with the second name of Beazley , who advertises in QST, under the name
of his software company and I doubt if the source code is avaiable.
Mininec is a little antiquated now. I like yagiopt (by the same guy)
for yagis, for other antennas I don't know what's the best.

Subject: Need advice on FM radio antenna
To: ham-ant@ucsd.edu
I'd like to improve my reception of an FM radio station (90.5 MHz) on my
home consumer-level receiver. I'd like to do this at minimal expense.
I've been told that I can tap my rooftop UHF/VHF television antenna, that
FM radio is in a band between television channels 6 and 7.
Is this correct and is using the TV antenna a good way for me to go?
What about impedance matching - does a typical TV antenna require 75,
300, or some other impedance cable?
And if this is not a sensible way to go, what cheap alternatives exist?
References to books or articles that I might find at the public library
would be helpful as well.
Thanks...
Bill O'Reitz

Hi Chester, don't know much about discones but you will lose at least
half your signal in 50 ft of RG-58 on 2m. RG-58 is not good for vhf/uhf.

To: ham-ant@ucsd.edu
I think, (no expert) that on 2 meters u only need about 10 inches
between elements which would give you 12 elements on ur 10 ft boom.
That should be plenty for almost anything (maybe except moonbounce)
you would have to go to about 24 elements to get three dB more than
the 12 element.Be glad u can put up 12 elements.
