The things we connect to our coax. A "hunnert an fifty feet of balin wire", the traditional extended coat hanger, wires of various lengths with many buried in the ground, rain gutters and the elaborate LPDA curtains. All this to be able to talk/hear the other person on the other side of the village.>>>>>Multiple wires sticking straight out or in a V shape, many grouped on a large beam. Closed wire loops of circles, triangles and squares. We have cones, prisms, flat panels and slots. If short on metal use your 75 foot tower that supports that huge tri-bander.>>>>>>They all work to some degree or another, so are we missing something simple here.>>>>>>If you have a AM transmitter @ 14.1 Mhz, 100% modulated with a 1000 Hz tone and a unmodulated carrier P-P voltage swing of 27.6 volts. What would be the the ideal antenna structure and/or its properties to give maximum conversion of electrical energy to EM energy, assuming an omnirectional pattern? Randy
