  • Isn't the wavelength 1916m? that's one mighty long antenna =P

  • Wow. What an enlightened person you are. Does the length of the wire inside a radio antennae change at all for the frequencies its used for?

    This formula also came from a manual produced by a Signals Operator and Master Mariner who served in the Canadian Navy for 35 years. So mind your tongue there.

    Chances are if I needed to transmit on a higher power Id have a booster antennae, and also a MF/HF SSB setup too.

    Try and be productive and not such a tool.

  • The antenna that you have made is based on some good math, but the way you have the bare wire formed into a coil will effectively short the antenna at any point where the wire touches itself. On a receiver this will reduce the receive range of the radio but if used with a transmitter radio it can over heat and burn out the RF amplifier built in to the radio. Any open wire (bare) antenna should not touch itself or any ground point.

  • The wire has a di-electric coating that is used for wires installed into electric motors and effectively wont short out unless it is sanded down in one point and touched against another bare point. Motor wires have this so they don't do the same within a high power wattage coil inside an electric motor. These coils that have densley wrapped wires in a coil are also effectively dipped in another coating also.

  • why do you go with the speed of light ?

    does the radiowave travel at the speed of light ?

  • Well if your a believer that magnetic wave forms are not subject to magentic interrference from other planets and magnetic forms then that would be an outright lie! lol... but yes it travels at the speed of light or close to. Unless however it is travelling close to a planet, then its regular path of momentum is skewed.
