'Ham Work Shop' to be fronted by G0KSC

The editors of antenneX, the popular on-line Ham antenna magazine have asked G0KSC to front the Ham Work Shop section each month. Many projects and basic levels of theory are going to be discussed and explored with useful information being shared each month for the beginner through to extra class. In this months column the OWL by G0KSC will be explored in more detail with explanations into why this is the best split-dipole Yagi available today.

A 9el 2M OWL Yagi designed for SP3IYM

The Tant program shows us this antenna has better Sky temperature and G/T than anything else of this length (4.9M) available today, period.

Future column articles will include design and construction projects from HF to SUHF all built from easy-to-obtain parts requiring a limited tool shed. Antenna modeling, antenna modeling packages and a description of how to use the Tant program (which will help you determine the sky temperature figures of an antenna) will all be included in future issues.
