Francis) says: >It is my understanding that discones are circularly polarized. If so, >how does this affect the reception of non-circularly polarized signals? >Shouldn't a circularly polarized antenna would do well on any >linearly polarized signal (horizontal or vertical)??? Silly me, all along I was misleading myself to believe they were verticals, Silly me. They are verticals aren't they! -- Bill VE3NJW Advanced Amateur Packet Address : VE3NJW@VE3KYT.#EON.ON.CAN Freenet Address: aj467@Freenet.Carleton.ca ------------------------------ Date: 14 Nov 93 23:28:12 GMT From: ogicse!emory!europa.eng.gtefsd.com!gatech!usenet.ufl.edu!chris.health.ufl.edu!tcw@network.ucsd.edu Subject: FAQ Is there one for this group?

To: ham-ant@ucsd.edu I was at this surplus electronic junk place, and they had a big spool of "RG-22" coax cable. I couldn't tell much about it, except that it seemed to resemble RG-8. None of my references (ARRL Handbook, Antenna Book, etc.) mention this type of cable. Anyone ever heard of it?
